Removals and decorations for Joseph's new house: 27 Kensington Square

RJ will come up on Thursday provided Smith or one of WW's men are nominated.

Rome. - Will arrive in England around the 25th and stay, he hopes, at the Italian Embassy. Plans to attend meetings of the W.F.U.N.A. between 15-20 December, and very much hopes he can visit the Shiffolds. Must get in touch with Trevelyan's brother George about his translation of "English Social History". Is very happy to coming to England after so many years, which came about through an invitation from Elena Carandini and the coincidence of the W.F.U.N.A. meetings. Is going to I Tatti 'to get B.B. [Berenson]'s blessings' before his journey.

Thanks his mother for her letter. Thinks Georgie is 'quite happy'. Has talked to Mr Cole about a [cricket] bat, who thinks Robert would do best with a '12s 6 d.' one from Lillywhite's. There is going to be a match with a new school at Bracknell belonging to Mr Maresfield. Is 'getting on very well' with Euclid. Tomlin is 'top of his class this week'. Hopes Charlie is doing well. Georgie says he forgot to thank her 'for the bit about Wolseley, it was very interesting'. Hears 'Lord Suddley is dead'. 'Accounts done'. Robert sends his mother the [school news?] paper.

Newnham College, Cambridge. - It is not 'black ingratitude' which has kept her from thanking Trevelyan for the "New Parsifal"; she wanted to wait until re-reading it before writing, and 'simply hadn't a moment' until term ended. Then she re-read it with 'much delight'; thinks she enjoys it 'more read to herself', and hopes this is not 'rude!', since she has time to 'savour' it. Thinks she still likes the parodies of Yeats and Masefield best, as she senses Trevelyan enjoys writing them; hopes Masefield did not mint -'but he cldn't!'.

Contains: poem, "October", by V. S. Wainwright; "Remembered Meals" by Max Beerbohm; poem. "After the War", by Christmas Humphreys; poems, "Can We No More" and "The Anatomists", by Denton Welch; "A Duel in Green Park" by S. S. [Sylvia Sprigge], about Count Vittorio Alfieri.

2 Fenchurch Avenue, London - Offers his congratulations as an old Larchfield boy who has followed Frazer's career; has a distinct memory of Frazer as the Doge of Venice in the Town Hall at Helensburgh.

Rose Hill Cottage, Overton Bridge, Wrexham - Is glad she has been able to publish 'Anthologia Anthropologica', which won't need his help; commendation would be an impertinence; thanks her for the gift of 'Greece and Rome'.

Postmarked Gloucester. - Pleased to see Trevelyan's poems in the "Nation"; discusses them briefly. Catherine continues to make excellent progress.

West Hackhurst, Abinger Hammer, Dorking. - Will visit tomorrow, unless the weather is dreadful as he has holes in his boots.

Cadenabbia. - Got engaged this morning to Janet Ward. Everyone 'who is most nearly concerned is very pleased', and when they meet her Elizabeth and Robert will be no exception. The wedding will not be until next spring, and the news will be a secret for a month or so; they can, however, ask his parents and Charles more about it and about Janet since he himself must be away for the next three weeks. His housemates Hilton Young and Robin Mayor also know about it, as do 'dear Theo [Llewelyn Davies] and Booa [Mary Prestwich]'. He and Janet are very much in love.

Flora's postcard came when he was away for two months in the north, but he still should have replied sooner. Does indeed remember the 'expedition from Burrows Lea with the Russells to Leith Hill Tower'; he must have been about six, and chiefly remembers eating 'as many bilberries as [he] could' and being 'shamefully sick'. Would like to visit her soon, but they have guests at the moment; would much like to see Flora's French [lead] soldiers. She may have heard that Julian and Ursula have had a son, Philip, and all seems to be going well; Erasmus, his middle name, is a Darwin family name.

Correspondence, 1958-1962, 1964, 1966.
In 1961 Feliński came from the Szczecin College of Agriculture, Poland to work with Synge for a period at the Rowett Research Institute.

Chiefly correspondence re inadequate or inaccurate abstracts.
