Carbon copy of letter from R. A. Butler to Lord Evershed , 30 Jul. 1953
671 West Delavan Avenue, Buffalo, N.Y. - Thanks him for the copy of 'Sir Roger de Coverley' and asks Frazer if he would write out 'My Old Study' so that he could frame it for his classroom. Accompanied by the envelope.
Iles Farm, Far Oakridge, Nr. Chalford, Glos. - Is very glad to hear that Mrs Trevelyan's husband is home [from the Far East] 'safe and well'. Very sorry to have missed the Bottomleys. Will visit when he can, and when Mrs Trevelyan 'care[s] to sit' to him; looks forward to hearing about Robert Trevelyan's travels. Adds a postscript that [Rabindranath] Tagore is reading his play "Chitra" at 21 Cromwell Road at 5 tomorrow afternoon; he himself cannot leave work, but there might be a chance of the Trevelyans being in London.
Regrets he was not home when they visited, but will see them at a reception given by Madame Renan; the audience was appreciative of his remarks.
Postmarked Stone. - A letter seems to have gone missing: Forster will soon be at West Hackhurst and will make it up to Trevelyan. Has been stopping with [Hugh] Meredith, whose house in Cambridge will probably be too small for a 'playground' [see 3/10]. May go to meet [Goldie] Dickinson in Italy. Hopes Paul is well again.
Turf Club, Cairo. "Studies" the Anglo-Egyptians at the Turf Club, Winston Churchill "waltzed" around Lloyd George and Bonar Law in the House of Commons, pleased that America had joined the allies,
Thanks for looking after Kate and Emily Mayor, Robert Mayor free from pain
Ore Place, Hastings. Postmark 24 June 1911 - Is writing an article and would like a list of the reviewed and re-edited versions of 'The Golden Bough' and those articles that represent his views the best; he does not promise to agree with all of his theories. At top is a MS note in R. A. Downie's hand giving the postmark date.
Marked "Private", understands that his mother did not think it right to do what he suggested, feels they can still have a special relationship.

Dated 12 July 1915 - Describes their long holiday, in Cirencester, Edinburgh, Kenmore, and Strathpeffer; mentions that the Cambridge University Press has published a school edition of his wife's book 'La Maison aux Panonceaux'; mentions [James Hope] Moulton's loss [his wife Eliza's death] and Moulton's plan to spend a year with the Parsees in India; Macmillan is publishing a book by [Robert] Russell, ['The Tribes and Castes of the Central Provinces of India'] which will be valuable; wonders if he has seen [W. H. R.] Rivers' work 'The History of Melanesian Society' he has not read it yet; has improved his Hebrew on holiday.
