Part of Papers of Sir James Frazer
Oak Glen, St. Brelade's, Jersey - Has been travelling since September, avoiding Smyrna and Crete because of difficulties with passports; was delighted with the Ovid, bought a copy for his grandson, but his wife thinks some of it is not appropriate for his age; went to Constantinople to organize a translation of the 9 vol. 'Travels' of Evliya Chelebi, 2 of which were translated into English by von Hammer; he only has a few pages about Athens but there is much more, a lot about Crete, the Peloponnesus and Albania, with a lot of folklore; Hasluck has pointed out the desirability of translating all of it.
