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'.

Itchenstoke - RCT apologises for his unceremonious leavetaking at Trinity Lodge last week, but he felt he should make room for late comers. He has been informed by the Bishop of Oxford, 'a few days since, of the purpose of Government to issue such a Commission [into the universities] as you have alluded to. Indeed he spoke of it, & apparently with knowledge, as already issued. He did not think that Ministers had any purpose of again attempting to compel the universities to admit Dissenters - but that the expressed purpose of the commission would be to enquire whether the universities could not be made, as regarded the members of the Church, more adequate to the needs of the present time. I am not aware whether the Bishop knew who the members of the commission were or would be. He only stated that no one concerned with the University Education would have any place on it - & that it would contain a good number of sufficiently unfriendly names'.
