Westminster College, Cambridge - Thanks him for the Huxley lecture on flood legends; thinks the Babylonian influence extended as far as Japan and Mexico, Haupt discussed the flood legend in a lecture to the A.O.S. [American Oriental Society?]; hopes they are well despite the fact that the war does not seem likely to come to a speedy end.
Xerox photocopies of over 240 letters, many of them of originals housed in other institutions. The letters are written by Frazer to multiple recipients with a few exceptions: eight are written by Lilly Frazer (to Miss Buckley, Sir Edmund Gosse, Bronisław Malinowski, and W. H. D. Rouse); one is from Henry Jackson to Frazer and five more are from others to others (two from Macmillan & Co. to Hermann Diels, one from Sir Francis Galton to Sir Clements Markham forwarding a letter from Frazer, one unrelated letter from John Sampson to Francis Jenkinson, and one memo from Otto Stapf to Sir David Prain). Five letters include covering letters from the institutions providing the copies. In addition, there are copies of a typescript draft of Frazer's article 'Our Debt to France', the draft of an address on the founding of the Frazer lectureships, and a translation of an article.

Ackerman, Robert (b 1935), biographer26 Abercromby Square, Liverpool. Dated 6.6.1913 - Returns the proofs, thanks him for the references, makes a few notes of corrections, making reference to his 'Israel'.
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.
Berlin W.50, Marburgerstr. 6. Dated 11.8.12 - Has been travelling, but will dictate his notes tomorrow; spoke to Professor [Henry] Wyld about taking some Greek matters down on the phonograph for Mrs Frazer but the apparatus is not in Liverpool.
