Scope and content
Drumore, Blairgowrie, N.B. Dated October 13, 1911 - Thanks him for 'The Dying God'; points out he is violating his own examples, 'instead of killing the aged functionary after all possible good has been taken out of him, you load him with favours'; is fascinated by the principle of temporary kingship terminated by compulsory death and facetiously suggests applying it to politics, 'provided always they [the Prime Minister and Chancellor of the Exchequer] belong to the wrong party ... surely after [a 5 year term] all sense of their divinity must have departed from the minds of their subjects'; begs pardon for his levity, but appreciates the humour in Frazer's book, a rare quality with the learned.
