Macfarlane Lang & Co., Ltd., Victoria Biscuit Works, Glasgow - Is glad to hear that there will be room at the British Museum for Sir James and for his books; the letter from Miss [Gertrude?] Ramsay was charming and graceful [possibly the letter at FRAZ/3/69, about how much her father George Gilbert Ramsay admired Frazer's work], and he returns it; is carrying out her instructions about the casket, with insurance and photographs made; is sending the finished copies of the Address to the Albemarle Club.

Part of Papers of Sir James Frazer

Moine-na-Vey, Ballater - Is sorry to hear of Sir James' eyes and the four operations, glad to hear Glasgow [Freedom of the City] celebrations went well, and about the St. Andrew's honorary degree; should not fear about the Principal, he will be in contact nearer the time; is glad to hear the British Museum is providing room for Sir James.

FRAZ/3/69 · Item · 26 Apr. [1932]
Part of Papers of Sir James Frazer

as at 16 Queen's Gardens, St. Andrews, Fife - Is very happy to hear that Frazer has been given the Freedom of Glasgow; suggests Frazer isn't aware how much her father [George Gilbert Ramsay] admired Frazer's work. A repair to the torn paper has obscured page 2 of the letter, in which she appears to ask if he has written about Woolley's discovery of the Ram in the Thicket at Ur. With a postscript from Moine-na Vey, Ballater, saying Malcolm has read the news accounts with pleasure.
