"Hochried", Murnau/Staffelsee - Asks if she will ask her friend Mr Peake if he will find out why the 'Manchester Guardian' ignores the Loeb Classical Library; points out that the 'Manchester Guardian Weekly' is quite widely read on the Continent; reads that the Macmillan 'Fasti' will have illustrations, this is a novel approach but is sure this will add charm and value.

"Hochried", Murnau/Staffelsee - Thanks him for the inscribed Frazer Lectures volume; his wife is still abed with a dropsy and has been slow to recover.

Dobbs Ferry - Informs him the teacher he was counting on [to promote Mrs Frazer's books in the United States], Monsieur de Rougemont, has died; plans to meet with Madame Seligman to study the question; refers him to [William R.?] Jenkins, who may be best positioned to help.

Woodcote, Godalming - Summarises the agreement between Macmillan and Loeb, specifying that Macmillan publishes first, and after two years, the Loeb may publish, using not more than fifty pages of commentary not including merely explanatory notes, and that Loeb not announce their edition until shortly before publication.

Macmillan & Co., Ltd. - Had a long talk with Page yesterday, and agreed that the Loeb edition will not appear until the Library Edition has been published for two years; they may use Frazer's fuller commentary but only fifty of their pages worth, the notes on mere statements of fact being exempt from this number; is waiting for Dr Loeb's final assent to do anything else. Accompanied by the envelope.

Woodcote, Godalming - Received a telegram Monday from Loeb strongly urging him to retain the 'Fasti' even if it took two volumes; saw George Macmillan and think they can agree if they settle the point of the notes, which he would like to retain, especially those for the intelligent non-subject reader; Macmillan will let him have his views in writing.

Woodcote, Godalming - Miss Buckley has sent the 'Fasti' with the corrections in slips, will send Frazer a revise in slips; praises the version, sends it to him with pencil notes [housed separately, as FRAZ/21/62]; hopes when he will not make further corrections because of the expense, tells him in private Mr Loeb finds his loss will exceed £200,000; is concerned about the notes, would like to keep the book to one volume, he can be authoritatively brief as 'your word stands of itself', and a single volume will reach so many more students.

Accompanied by two pages of notes by Frazer about the arrangements for the Loeb edition ("Critical notes: all or some or none?") and another with notes about Baldwin Spencer publications by Frazer; as well as the envelope. [Both items were previously housed as Frazer/14/65-69, but logically belong here.]

Woodcote, Godalming - Is trying to come to an agreement with Macmillan and Loeb as to what will be allowed from the Macmillan edition in the Loeb edition of the 'Fasti'.

Loeb Classical Library - All are most hopeful the work [the 'Fasti'] will be completed soon; encloses the second page of a letter from Mr Loeb expressing his anticipation [this incomplete letter is now housed as FRAZ/2/113].

"Hochried", Murnau/Staffelsee - Is happy to hear the good news about Sir James' eyesight.

"Hochried", Murnau/Staffelsee - Thanks her for the "Trésor Légendaire de l'Humanité" and congratulates her on the excellent title; will be visiting England again in the spring and hopes to see them.

Villa Waldfried, Murnau A/ Staffelsee - Thanks her for the book; presumes Dr Rouse is keeping them posted about the progress of the L.C.L.

Woodcote, Godalming - Has just learned that Dr Loeb has raised the honorarium from £100 to £125; quotes Loeb's letter to him in which he praises the 'Fasti', and writes that he agrees, though 'unhappily dull age or overwork' have prevented him from reading it carefully.

Villa Waldfried, Murnau A/ Staffelsee - Encloses the reply from Professor Bernard (now housed as FRAZ/29/7); Jenkins is a respectable publishing firm that could promote the sale of her books; she has heard of George Macmillan's 'final & flat refusal' to let the Loeb Classical Library have the Pausanias on any terms, he thinks it's 'disgusting of him' but chiefly regrets James' loss of revenue, will have to have a new translation made for the L.C.L.; asks if she has heard that Harvard has conferred an honorary Litt.D. on Professor Schechter.

Woodcote, Godalming - Has no authority in the financial matter she alludes to; it is up to Dr Loeb to decide on any further payment; as to any 'apparent negligence' he notes that he is 80, and has to deal with an invalid wife and daughter, the Loeb Library, the County Council, the Chairmanship of a Company, The Chairmanship of a Local Election Authority, and feels on the edge of a breakdown; as to not acknowledging a copy of the 'Fasti' [sent him], he thought it was sent from Macmillan to the Loeb Classical Library and not himself, and he had only just discovered the slip of paper with Frazer's most kind words; as to anything that could be done to mark the event [of publication?] he could not organise anything but will ask Rouse.

Loeb Classical Library - Dr Loeb has asked Page to send Frazer the honorarium; he believes this refers to the other half of the fee (£50) and says that as Dr Loeb thinks it is now due, he will send a cheque; apologises for the letter written in haste under great pressure.

Loeb Classical Library - Has consulted with Dr Loeb about the payment for the 'Fasti', and while the normal payment would be £50 or £60, they are willing to pay £100, £50 paid now; the L.C.L. will not get the same benefit from the work given its publication in the Library edition first; acknowledges that the money can bear little relation to the value of the work done.

Loeb Classical Library - Has sent his letter to Mr Loeb, who says he agrees to the request regarding the French translation of 'Apollodorus'. With a postscript that the letter had been returned and is sending it again, with apologies for keeping him waiting.

"Hochried", Murnau/Staffelsee - Is pleased Frazer will soon complete the 'Fasti' and admires Lady Frazer's translation of excerpts from 'The Golden Bough'. This page of a letter was sent to the Frazers in a letter from T. E. Page to Lady Frazer dated 13 Jan. 1926 [FRAZ/3/37]

"Hochried", Murnau/Staffelsee - Thanks him for the letter, and for personally supervising the 'Fasti' when the time comes, is pleased to hear they are to live in the Temple.

"Hochried", Murnau/Staffelsee - Thanks him for the congratulations on his 60th birthday.

"Hochried", Murnau/Staffelsee - Thanks her for the portrait of Sir James; he and Dr Page are happy everything relating to the 'Fasti' has been settled to their satisfaction.

"Hochried", Murnau/Staffelsee - He cannot comply with her request to wire his consent direct to Macmillan, as Dr Page is in charge [of negotations about the 'Fasti']; would suggest that Frazer mention in the Macmillan preface that the work was begun for the Loeb Classical Library and grew too large; is sorry she worries about Frazer's health, but thinks a man who can fence nimbly must be in good shape.

"Hochried", Murnau/Staffelsee - Is looking forward to the visit of his son Joseph over Christmas; asks when the 'Fasti' will appear; asks if Frazer can supply Mr Byard of Heinemann with the names of British journals to send review copies of the 'Aristotle', has been reading Basil's 'Letters', and Thackeray's 'Josephus'.

"Hochried", Murnau/Staffelsee - Wrote to Dr Page as soon as he received her note, and hopes Sir James' honorarium has arrived; has read the first two books of the 'Fasti' and admires it; is writing to Heinemann to grant permission to keep the books loaned them; is pleased to hear they will be moving to the Temple; thanks her for sending him Reinach's note.

"Hochried", Murnau/Staffelsee - Clarifies his position concerning the preface, had suggested they ask Macmillan to give the facts in the announcement of the 'Fasti' but doesn't really want to 'ask any favour of Mr. Macmillan'; is delighted to hear of a French translation of the 'Apollodorus', there will be no charge for this.

"Hochried", Murnau/Staffelsee - Thanks her for her letter about 'the situation' [relating to the publication of the 'Fasti' by Macmillan before the Loeb Classical Library], has written Dr Page; congratulates Sir James on his election to the French Academy; applauds her translation, 'Trésor'; will be keeping their Christmas mistletoe so that it may become golden, like the twig she gave them years ago.

Landhaus, "Hochried", Murnau/Staffelsee - Received the 'Apollodorus', and expresses his admiration, saying it will be the star of the Loeb Classical Library; they have not been in touch recently, he had a nervous breakdown lasting four years and has recently married Mrs. Hambuechen.

Grand Hotel Kurhaus, Berchtesgaden - Hopes their return to Cambridge will go better than she expects; is happy to hear Sir James is at work on the 'Fasti'.

"Hochried", Murnau/Staffelsee - Is pleased to hear they are comfortable in Paris; has asked Dr Page about Frazer's honorarium for the 'Fasti'; as to Frazer's request for the Loeb Classical Library volumes, they should ask Salomon Reinach to lend them as this would be easiest.
