Wengen. - Glad that Robert is pleased by what [the award of the Order of Merit to Sir George] 'gives them much pleasure'; has had many letters, and all the papers (which Romeike sends in 'shoals') including the Tory ones approve it. Knew nothing of it until receiving a letter from Lord Knollys; had 'only just time to telegraph acceptance'. Glad the nurse seems all right; hears that Julian is 'a glorious boy'. He and Caroline are reading their new edition of Stevenson's letters, of which Colvin has made 'an admirable and quite sufficient biography'.

Buckingham Palace - A copy in the hand of J. G. Frazer, of a letter from the Private Secretary to the King [Sir Francis Knollys] thanking Frazer for the copy of his book, 'Lectures on the Early History of the Kingship'.
