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.

La Haule Manor, Jersey - Will not make 'any more fuss' [about the proposed omission of his lecture from the Frazer Lectures volume], go ahead with publication as they like, though the omission of his lecture might make future lecturers disinclined to publish; has not liked how things were done behind his back, if there was a letter, it must have gone astray, and J. G. has not said a word; returns Elliot Smith's letter [which asks that the lecture be published, FRAZ/3/117], which is 'quite sporting'; would say it again, and [Thomas Athol?] Joyce bought many copies to distribute in America; they should tell Dawson to return to the job; offers congratulations on the Glasgow appointment.

Institute of Anatomy, University College, London - Thanks her for writing to him concerning the republication of Marett's Frazer Lecture; while Marett's phraseology suggests he was discourteous to Frazer; believes that strongly held opinions should never express personal resentment; admires Frazer; is glad to hear eye troubles are being overcome. With a note that he would be glad to alter this statement if she wishes.

Exeter College, Oxford - Asks if J.G.F. would be willing to be President of the Folklore Society during their 50th anniversary year, nothing beyond a ceremonial address required, the Vice-President would do the rest of the work (probably Professor Dawkins).

From the Rector, Exeter College, Oxford - Is at St Andrews, completing the first series of Giffords lectures; is sorry to hear about J.G.'s eyes, is staying with Professor Stout whose eyes and ears are bad; Farnell owes his poor sight to a collision with a motor bicycle, but has finished his 3 vol.

From the Rector, Exeter College, Oxford - They saw in 'Truth' the compliment to Nora's clothes, suspects an Oxford don's wife is expected to be dowdy; is addressing the British Medical Association at Oxford and then the Speleological Association in a lecture on 'cave-hunting'; would rather be shrimping with grandchildren.

From the Rector, Exeter College, Oxford - It is just as well she won't be visiting, as Nora is in bed with pleurisy.

La Haule Manor, Jersey - Has just arrived at his house on Jersey, has been digging at his prehistoric cave; thinks Sidney Owen is apt to fuss over trifles, not that he is lazy, will 'give him a poke' when he sees him again; wishes Oxford had taken Hutton as well, it was not his decision.

From the Rector, Exeter College, Oxford - Making arrangements to meet.

From the Rector, Exeter College, Oxford - In the letter of 3 Nov., he tells her he wrote his review [of one of the 'Anthologia Anthropologica' volumes?] quickly and sent it to 'The Times' weeks ago; they haven't sent proofs of an even earlier review either, but doesn't like to ask about it. In letter of 9 Nov., he tells her he did ask: the review had been held up because 'The Times' did not know the date of publication.

From the Rector, Exeter College, Oxford - Thinks a selection of J. G.'s correspondence [for publication] would be best, and the selection should be done firmly; tells her that they must get permission to print other people's letters; asks if Downie will do the editing.
