Strafford House, Aldeburgh, Suffolk - Thanks him for his copy 'The Gorgon's Head', is looking forward to light reading during his convalescence; has given Marett's 'The Diffusion of Culture' to Sir Hugh Clifford, who rejects Elliot Smith's 'wild theory'; Elliot Smith has resigned from Folklore Society because President Myers attacked his theory.

3 Cromwell Gardens, London - Thanks him for publishing Dr Marett's review of his book; arranges to meet.

Trinity College, Cambridge - Thanks him for the review of his book in the 'Quarterly Review'.

Exeter College, Oxford - Welcomes the news that the anthropological notebooks are to be published; a genuine science of man is only to be achieved through careful observations, and will result in a better understanding between nations.

Exeter College, Cambridge - Thanks her for the Downie biography; has reviewed it for the 'Times Literary Supplement' but it has not been printed, but with paper shortages they shouldn't complain; is in 'great trouble': eldest son Jack [John Ranulph de la Haule Marett] was on HMS Glorious and is missing, hopes that means he is a prisoner; more certain that a nephew is a prisoner, and another has been badly wounded.

28 Grange Road, Barnes, S.W.13. - Did not know W. J. Perry had delivered a Frazer lecture, has never heard him say a word against Frazer, is sorry the lecture won't be included in the volume [of Frazer Lectures he is editing], will list it in the Introduction; is making Rivet's footnotes uniform, see that Rivet adopted the diffusion theory in his lecture; believes some controversy is good in a book as long as it is not personal as Marett's lecture was [about Elliot Smith]; does not think there is a need for galley proofs but could save money by going straight to page-form.

28 Grange Road, Barnes, S.W.13. - Had hoped to trouble her no further with correspondence [about the Frazer Lectures volume], but her letter and a letter he received from Marett [about dropping his lecture from the volume due to content about Elliot Smith] have changed that; will take no further steps until he hears from her; encloses the letter he received from Marett and his response [FRAZ/17/23].

28 Grange Road, Barnes, S.W.13., Private & Confidential - Has received a further letter from Marett, which he sends with a copy of his reply [FRAZ/17/24]; resigns the editorship of the volume [of Frazer Lectures] as otherwise his name would be associated with a volume with an attack on Elliot Smith while also omitting Perry's lecture; has kept a journal of the work done; encloses Marett's letter of 30 July [FRAZ/17/25], his reply, his journal of proceedings, and Marett's printed lecture [journal and lecture not present].

28 Grange Road, Barnes, S.W.13. - A letter with 9 numbered points in response to a letter from her [about his role as editor of the Frazer Lectures volume]: offers congratulations for the Glasgow honour [University of Glasgow establishing the Sir James Frazer Lectureship]; praises Elliot Smith's position in his letter to Frazer of 3 Aug. 1932 [FRAZ/3/117 in which he states he is happy to have the Marett lecture included in the Lectures volume]; is pleased that Perry's lecture will be included; thanks her for the cheque, notes that the work is not done, but will spend the money on copies of Frazer's works he does not own; would like to have a Frazer portrait for the frontispiece; asks for the return of the letters from Marett; Rivet is happy to have his essay amended; returns Marett's letters.

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. - Thanks him for his letter of the 29th [concerning the Frazer Lectures volume]; as editor he is seeing the book through the press and contributing an Introduction in which all the lectures will be listed, including Marett's and another not being printed; permission has been obtained from all authors and publishers; is doing what Frazer cannot, due to his eyesight; has seen him personally; on account of his eyesight, all of Sir James' correspondence is carried out by Lady Frazer, and he regards 'all her letters as equivalent to letters from Sir James himself'.

28 Grange Road, Barnes, S.W.13. - Has received his letter of 30 July and awaits Frazer's instructions [concerning the Frazer Lectures volume].

La Haule Manor, Jersey - Has written to Sir James, not this time to Lady Frazer, that he would 'lose face' if the Frazer Lectures volume were published without his lecture; if the objection is Elliot Smith's language about Frazer, he could suppress those passages as long as it was clear that he did not withdraw from his position concerning them, and suggests some wording to that effect.

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.'

La Haule Manor, Jersey - He cannot write in a hurry, so cannot edit his lecture [to tone down criticism of Elliot Smith for inclusion in the Frazer Lectures volume]; she never mentioned the [proposed] omission before; he cannot tell if it is her verdict or that of Sir James; if it is not suitable now, it was never suitable, and that's not pleasant; is astonished she does not see this.

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 Frazer for writing to him concerning the republication of Marett's Frazer Lecture; while he regrets that quotations taken out of context make him look disrespectful to Frazer, he believes in 'frank discussion of differences' and asks that the lecture be published.

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.

28 Grange Road, Barnes, S.W.13 - Agrees that R. R. Marett's lecture should be omitted from the Frazer Lecture volume, as it could not be edited, being 'from beginning to end an attack upon Prof. Elliot Smith' would not like to revive a controversy now forgotten; asks her to write to Marett; encloses his copy of the lecture [not present].

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.

Emmanuel College Lodge, Cambridge - He has been busy with the admission of undergraduates and it is plain the University is no longer able to cope with the numbers who wish to join; the dinner on Shrove Tuesday was a great success; it was a pity that Marett felt the need to attack Elliot Smith on such an occasion [his Frazer Lecture]; but Elliot Smith doesn't appear worried by it.

28 Grange Road, Barnes, S.W.13. - Thanks her for her letter and the two letters from Marett; still thinks they should not publish the Marett lecture [in the book of Frazer Lectures, due to content relating to Elliot Smith] as it is so different in tone from the other lectures; thinks his point about Jane Harrison [in the letter from Marett to Lady Frazer dated 25 July, FRAZ/17/27] is not a true parallel; returns the Marett letters.

La Haule Manor, Jersey - His letter gave Marett great pleasure, even if the praise was undeserved; had to write quickly in order to be ready for the July number of the 'Quarterly', Buxton wrote that Marett is Frazer's disciple, and Marett calls Frazer 'the Master of them that know anything about anthropology'.

Exeter College, Oxford - Has received the bust of Sir James, and is storing it in his classroom; thinks it ought to be placed rather high, as the face inclines downwards; 'Cambridge meant well' when it appointed R [John Roscoe?], given that everyone knows the 'Golden Bough' is the source of his inspiration; is glad to hear they are having a 'giddy' time in Paris.

La Haule Manor, Jersey - Praises her translation of' 'Le trésor légendaire de l'humanité'; is busy with wedding of second daughter [Joyce Elizabeth]; wishes them a happy Christmas.

Exeter College, Oxford - Thanks her for her hospitality; has written Mrs Balfour [about the Frazers visiting?]; has begun 'La fin d'un monde' [by Claude Anet?] and finds it 'interesting though some of the archaeological details strike me as queer'.

Exeter College, Oxford - The [Frazer] lecture was a success, over 150 people attended, the Professor [Alexandre Moret] was eloquent, clear and easy to follow; will leave it to [Moret] and the Frazers to decide how publication takes place.

Exeter College, Oxford - Accepts the invitation to dine on the 18th, cannot on the 25th, as he will be at a meeting of the Jersey Society in London.

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 - He must work through Dudley Buxton, who is now Secretary to the Anthropology Committee as relates to the Frazer lectureships; suggests J.G.F. write a letter about Rivet; otherwise H. J. Rose, a good man, will be picked; applauds her work on founding a French Folklore society.
