Thanks WW for sending him the Supplement [probably 'The Influence of the History of Science upon Intelectual Education', 1854]: 'I find myself deep in Ethics and Metaphysics I feel as if I had got back into my youth - for many years are gone since I read anything in that line'. He is pleased to hear that Cordelia Whewell's health is improving.

Feverish illness of Henry Bickersteth, prescription for a child with a thorn in its eye: Kirkby Lonsdale

Incomplete.

Notes on Chas. Scarborough, ironmonger, smiths, tinners & braziers in Cambridge; a riddle; notes on praise of Whewell as a divine.

13 Greenhill Terrace, Edinburgh, Sunday 4 or 5 Jan 1925 - Congratulates the Frazers.

Trinity Lodge, Cambridge - Congratulates Frazer on the honorary doctorate from Oxford. Lunched with the recently arrived Senator Hoar from America, who had bought a copy of Pausanias immediately upon arrival.

Newnham Cottage, Queen's Road, Cambridge - Is changing his plans so that he can hear Painlevé speak, but warns that if Painlevé doesn't speak English, his French is too poor for social purposes.

Thanks Flora for the kind offer of a 'goat cream cheese'; he will 'delight in it', and it will bring back memories of Greece and Italy; is not sure about Bessie, who feels 'a little unworthy of it', but will give it a try. Hopes to go to Italy at the end of March to see [Bernard] Berenson, and a friend at Corton [Umberto Morra]; also hopes to see Lina [Waterfield], who is 'bad about writing' but is no doubt busy with 'her fondo and other things'. Cannot discover where Pan was born; Tmolus is 'as likely as anywhere' and is often associated with him, as in Shelley's "Hymn to Pan". Glad his translations pleased her; has not been able to write any of his own poetry for a 'long time now'. Hopes to visit her before going to Italy.

Geneva. - Came on here from Chamonix yesterday because of bad weather. Discusses arrangements for visiting Elizabeth; would be glad to see B[ertrand] Russell and his wife if they are there. The end of the holiday is approaching and she is in some ways happy to be leaving the mountains, which are 'very, very wonderful' but 'one gets a little oppressed with them'. Booa [Mary Prestwich] was quite unwell at Chamonix, but is better today. Hopes the second concert went well.

Postmarked Mainz. - Has just played through some of Act I and Act II [of "The Bride of Dionysus"] for Herr Geheimrat [Strecker], who 'has none of the doubts he had a year ago' and thinks that they should risk five acts due to the contrast in atmosphere between the prison and Labyrinth scenes. Is feeling 'more encouraged' than he has for some time, and feels that if he can get the instrumentation of the duet right he will be 'out of the wood'. Asks for permission for an omission and an insertion. Has recently realised the necessity of making an emotional point of the words 'Against my bridal day'.

Contains: "Poetry in Wartime America" by John Holmes; poem, "Crocuses", by Celia Lanyon Lanyon; poem, "Man-Woman, You and I", by Christmas Humphreys; poem, "To Memory", by Geoffrey Bosanquet; "From a London Diary" by S. S. [Sylvia Sprigge]; poem, "First Light", by Ida Procter.

Patras - Has travelled through Greece with his Pausanias at his side; notes that the spring Aganippe no longer gushes from the wall near the ancient monastery.

Maura, Dean Park Road, Bournemouth. Dated 21 March, 1896 - Congratulates him on his engagement; assures him there has been no coldness this term or ever, he has been busy: his brother Arthur died in December and he has been caught up in matters of his estate, and that of his father-in-law [Francis Vansittart Thornton], who died nearly a year ago.
