Praises the 'beauty & excellence & great value' of Dolmetsch's instrument. Appreciates the recognition of his love for 17th century music and respect for his Poet Laureateship.

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).
