12 Howard Place, St Andrews [Dictated] - Thanks him for his letter from Paris, and reacts to the news in it: their visits to Brussels, Strasbourg, and Paris; Lady Frazer's illness; de Pange's amusing story of how Joffre and Foch were considered birds of ill omen on their inspection tours; the reception of the Renan Society. He is interested to hear of the Société for the translation of Greek and Latin texts; congratulates Frazer on the Anthropological Lectureship at Trinity, his Presidency of that section, and on his F.R.S.; is glad to hear the Apollodorus is in the proof stage, and agrees with him about Pliny.

Accompanied by a cutting of an obituary of Ramsay by John Harrower of 'The Aberdeen Free Press' of 23 March 1921 (Item 114); and by the envelope, with Frazer's note, 'G. G. Ramsay, 7th January 1921 (his last letter to me) J. G. F.'
