Woodcote, Godalming - Received a telegram Monday from Loeb strongly urging him to retain the 'Fasti' even if it took two volumes; saw George Macmillan and think they can agree if they settle the point of the notes, which he would like to retain, especially those for the intelligent non-subject reader; Macmillan will let him have his views in writing.

Macmillan & Co., Ltd. - Receipt, accompanied by envelope.

Friends of the Bodleian, Bodleian Library, Oxford - Thanks her for her letter, they have received the manuscript [of 'The Growth of Plato's Ideal Theory']; Macmillan could borrow it if they need it before it officially becomes Bodleian property; any part of it could be photographed by the Clarendon Press; is sending her letter on to the President of Magdalen as she requests.

28 Grange Road, Barnes, S.W.13. - Thanks her for her letter and parcel, with the Ovid [Fasti] and the Mensch ['Mensch, Gott und Unsterblichkeit'?], and portrait of Frazer [for the Frazer Lectures volume]; Perry is away and Elliot Smith has suggested that the substance of the lecture was in a book published soon after; will give everything else to Macmillan and add Perry's lecture later.

Paris, 16 R. Dupont des Loges - Macmillan has instructed him to send the translated preface and first few pages [of 'The Golden Bough'], that he has tried to follow the text closely and not create something different in a French style.

Accompanied by an envelope with a note in Frazer's hand 'French translation of G.B.'

Paris - Is happy she liked his translation [of 'The Golden Bough'], agrees that it would be good to do a partial translation of the work and make it one big or two ordinary volumes, which would sell better in France than a 3 volume set, asks for a written confirmation that he has the right to translate all the parts of the work and the right to replace some chapters with summaries, will write to Macmillan.

Accompanied by an envelope with a note in Frazer's hand 'French translation of G.B.'

27 Queen's Gate Gardens, S.W.7. - Thanks her for the copy of the address to the Glasgow Corporation; shares information learned earlier that day that in Dec. 1873 he and James both sat for the Trinity scholarship; he did not go to King's due to an incident during the Christmas holidays, after which he started work at Macmillan's; at the High Table at Trinity Henry Jackson told him to remember Frazer, who was later second in the first class of the Tripos to his old friend A. H. Cooke; a letter from J. H. Middleton commended 'The Golden Bough', resulting at last in 'the personal association which has ever since been to me a matter of so much pride and pleasure'; delighted to hear his eyesight has improved; happy to hear of the facilities offered by the British Museum; glad he is writing about 'The Fear of the Dead', which George had often discussed with him; is still confined to bed for what seemed a trivial accident.

"Hochried", Murnau/Staffelsee - Clarifies his position concerning the preface, had suggested they ask Macmillan to give the facts in the announcement of the 'Fasti' but doesn't really want to 'ask any favour of Mr. Macmillan'; is delighted to hear of a French translation of the 'Apollodorus', there will be no charge for this.

28 Grange Road, Barnes, S.W.13 - Thanks her for sending letters from Mlle. Rivet and Paul Geuthner; has begun to mark copy [of the Frazer Lectures volume] for the printer, is adding footnotes - Moret's lecture will take time; the size of the page is determined by Evans' illustrations; will need to rewrite Westermarck's MS, as it is full of corrections; the lectures are of unequal lengths, with Malinowski's the longest; asks for some information on the origin for the Introduction; Macmillan says they can publish in October only if it is sent at an early date; Macmillan will not pay him for the work.

28 Grange Road, Barnes, S.W.13. - Agrees to an 'armistice' in the writing of many letters; is glad she approves of the dedication [to the Frazer Lectures volume]; arranges to visit; will write a review of 'Garnered Sheaves'; has sent [William?] Routledge's letter to Macmillan.

Macmillan & Co., Ltd. - Is pleased Dr Rouse takes a favourable view of the arrangement with the Loeb Library; encloses in duplicate a memorandum summarising the position with the Loeb Library; explains the compensation he had mentioned was only if the Loeb Library had material that had to be abandoned, but as it is all in type, he is not inclined to compensate, as a smaller fee from Frazer would cover the cost of keeping the type standing. Accompanied by a typed memorandum and a carbon copy (FRAZ/14/55), with the envelope.

Macmillan & Co., Ltd. - Had a long talk with Page yesterday, and agreed that the Loeb edition will not appear until the Library Edition has been published for two years; they may use Frazer's fuller commentary but only fifty of their pages worth, the notes on mere statements of fact being exempt from this number; is waiting for Dr Loeb's final assent to do anything else. Accompanied by the envelope.
