Part of Papers of Sir James Frazer

Magdalene College, Cambridge - In the letter of 3 Dec. Housman has suggested that Frazer be asked to write an obituary notice of William Wyse for 'The Times' as none has appeared. In the letter of 30 Dec. thanks him for his 'beautiful account' of William Wyse; 'It has given real pleasure to those who knew him intimately - & some of them are hard to please!'
