16 Brookside, Cambridge - Enjoyed talking with Frazer, which reminded him of their earliest days together; sends printed articles with his thoughts on F. VI 263 sqq. [present], notes he found it hard to translate the passage; writes about a passage in III 715 sqq. and queries Riese's translation of 'spretus inermis erat' at length; offers to read proofs or provide any other help needed. Encloses three printed items: an offprint of 'On Ovid "Fasti' VI. 263 sqq.' in 'The Classical Quarterly', Vol. IV, No. 3, July 1910 (FRAZ/14/46); 'On the Text of the "Stromateis" of Clement of Alexandria' in 'The Classical Quarterly', Vol. VIII, No. 4, October 1914 (FRAZ/14/47); and a single page [from 'The Classical Quarterly'?] containing Postgate's note on Ovid's 'Fasti' VI, 271 sq., dated 19 January 1918 (FRAZ/14/48).

16 Brookside, Cambridge - Has reflected more on the meaning of 'Fasti' III 716, in particular Riese's translation, 'spretus inermis erat', believes Bacchus rather than Iuppiter is being spoken of; has written to G. A. Davies and will let Frazer know what he says. Accompanied by the envelope.
