Friends of the Bodleian, Bodleian Library, Oxford - Thanks them for the manuscript of 'The Growth of Plato's Ideal Theory'.

Accompanied by the envelope redirected from the Albemarle Club to the Midland Grand Hotel, London NW1.

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.

The Rationalist Press Association, Fleet Street, London, Confidential - Attaches a private note to their offer to publish 'The Golden Bough' [housed at FRAZ/19/40] to say if they are in favour of accepting the proposal and would like to see him before referring to Macmillan, he could call at the Albemarle Club that day; thanks her for "The Singing Wood".

"Valley Vista", Hornsby, N.S. Wales - Asks for information on the author of 'Scenes of Familiar Life'; admires her sketches 'so brim full of wit and roguery'. Accompanied by two typed copies and Vogan's business card.

Specimen page of the text and commentary of the Macmillan edition of the 'Fasti', accompanied by envelope with Frazer's note, 'Ovid, Specimen pages & Macmillan's letters and Agreement with Loeb &c.'. Probably originally sent with George A. Macmillan's letter to Frazer dated 12 Feb. 1926, in which he refers to sending specimen pages (FRAZ/14/61)

"Hochried", Murnau/Staffelsee - Asks if she will ask her friend Mr Peake if he will find out why the 'Manchester Guardian' ignores the Loeb Classical Library; points out that the 'Manchester Guardian Weekly' is quite widely read on the Continent; reads that the Macmillan 'Fasti' will have illustrations, this is a novel approach but is sure this will add charm and value.

Lists of books: those consulted at the British Library; the Temple; books of Frazer's left with Macmillan & Co, May 1931; notes on F. Mason's article, 'Religion, Mythology, and Astronomy among the Karens' in the 'Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal', 1865; notes on the Olympic Games; other miscellaneous notes written on the verso of odd pages of manuscript drafts of plays by Lady Frazer.

Macmillan & Co., Ltd. - Is happy to hear of progress on the 'Fasti'; part of the index to the commentary, title page and dedication are at the printers; will be away in Yorkshire, and then will head to Rome after Easter.

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.

Macmillan & Co., Ltd. - Did not follow her suggestion and will have illustrations in the 'Fasti', but they will select them; has advised J.G.F. to confine the commentary to one volume; will come hear Professor Moret at the French Institute if he is in town on 26 May.

Macmillan & Co., Ltd. - Is pleased they are postponing their trip for a pleasant reason, wonder what the new honour is; will be announcing the 'Fasti' in a new Catalogue of Classical Books; has an order for 70 copies of 'The Worship of Nature' from an Edinburgh bookseller.

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.'

Lund - Thanks them for their interest in his book 'La confession des péchés'; before he left Italy, Malinowski asked for a copy of his book, but since then he has no news of him; as for Macmillan's offer to publish an English edition of 'La confession' he would be happy for them to do this, will send the first volume when he returns to Italy; the Congrès [of the International Association for the History of Religions] has completed its work and has chosen Berlin as the host city for the next conference in 1933.

Accompanied by an envelope redirected from Trinity College to The Midland Grand Hotel Room 110, St Pancras, London, N.W.1.

28 Grange Road, Barnes, S.W.13. - Is glad the specimen page [of the Frazer Lectures volume] has been approved, printing will begin at once; the review of 'Garnered Sheaves' will appear shortly.

La Haule Manor, Jersey - Suggested omission of his lecture from the Frazer Lectures volume is inconsiderate; it would suggest that the lecture was unsuitable; cannot explain the situation so frankly to Lady Frazer, 'who hardly seems to realize its delicacy'; Frazer should take responsibility, not Macmillan, or the editor Dawson; no one ever hinted the lecture was inappropriate; if it were a matter of repeating Elliot Smith's statements about him, he could make some changes, so long as it is clear that he did not withdraw from his position; everything is very rushed, and if they insist on publishing, then he will enquire what legal right they have to republish the lectures under a title in which he might have a proprietary interest; is prepared to suffer for conscience's sake, but 'don't want to be publicly convicted of sin by the Macmillans' conscience or even by yours.'

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.

28 Grange Road, Barnes, S.W.13. - Has received a photograph of Sir James from W. E. Lake [for the book of Frazer Lectures] and has sent it to Macmillan; has also received Perry's letter of the 8th; asks if she would like to see the specimen page when it arrives.

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.

28 Grange Road, Barnes, S.W.13. - Has delivered the materials for the Frazer Lectures volume to Macmillan; expects Perry's MS at the end of the week.

28 Grange Road, Barnes, S.W.13 - Is pleased they agree about dropping Marett's lecture from the Frazer Lecture volume [because of controversial content relating to Elliot Smith] ; has Roscoe's letter of authority and will take it to Macmillan.

Brandon Street, Edinburgh - Is concerned to hear about Sir James' eyes; they will subscribe to five copies of the bibliography; they made an error sending revised proofs of 'Fear of the Dead' accompanied by the corrected slips, communicated this to Macmillan to put it right; Macmillan was not to blame.

Macmillan & Co. Ltd. - Encloses a typewritten copy of the contents of 'Garnered Sheaves' left with him; is forwarding to Messrs. Clark the reviews from the 'Times Literary Supplement' so they may cast them off in the form of the original 'Golden Bough'; puts on record their agreement that they will publish 'The Golden Bough: A Supplement', but are still deciding on the supplement to 'Totemism and Exogamy'. Accompanied by Frazer's notes on addresses to the Ernest Renan Society. The list of 'Garnered Sheaves' has been corrected and added to in Frazer's hand.

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.

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.

Woodcote, Godalming - Summarises the agreement between Macmillan and Loeb, specifying that Macmillan publishes first, and after two years, the Loeb may publish, using not more than fifty pages of commentary not including merely explanatory notes, and that Loeb not announce their edition until shortly before publication.

Editorial Atlante, S.A., Mexico.D.F. - The Director-Gerente of a new publishing house asks for the rights to translate the abridged version of 'The Golden Bough' into Spanish.
