Stettin N.T., Braunsfelde. Dated Sept. 4, 1912 - Thanks him for 'Adonis, Attis, Osiris'; is happy his notes have been of service; the burning of kings in 'Adonis' is interesting; has a statuette that might be an Attis; believes Frazer is right in the main about [Peter?] Jensen, and thinks he is right to detach his Crucifixion theory, but he is inclined to look for the nucleus of possibilities in the 'wild and unmethodical ways', hopes he can find an opportunity of inserting a reference to his 'Israel'; many people are interested in translating 'Israel', including Sir William Ramsay and his daughter in Boston. Accompanied by four pages of notes in German, possibly those referred to in the letter of 11.8.12.

Didsbury College, Manchester. Dated 15.3.12 - Asks him to return the papers on totem poles to Mrs Crowther; discusses the etymology of Demeter; criticises the astral mythology of Hugo Winckler, Alfred Jeremias and Peter Jensen, quoting his friend E. W. Maunder on the poor astronomy in the book.

From The Reverend The Master, S. Catharine's College, Cambridge - Four letters concerning answering Frazer's query about Elamite texts, mentioning [Vincent] Scheil, [Peter] Jensen, [Emmanuel] Cosquin, [A. H.] Sayce, and the goddesses Pa-ar-ti and Vashti.
