Typescript draft of a French translation of Part IV, chapter III of 'Folk-lore in the Old Testament', corrected in Émile Audra's hand, lacking the first page, with page numbers matching the page numbers in Vol. III of that volume published in English in 1918. This chapter does not appear in the abridgement or the French translation of the abridgement, and the translator is not identified. The title is taken from the folder it is housed in, which also carries two later ballpoint pen notes, 'incorrect? A.J.S.' [with an arrow pointing to the title] and 'translations of F into Frazer [recte French?], by ?'

Halford, Shipston on Stour - Going on a short holiday to Leamington, no time for a letter, sorry to hear Lady Frazer is unwell.

Anvers - Thanks her for 'Le Bouc émissaire', is not in charge of writing reviews of English books [for 'La Renaissance d'Occident'] but expects an exception can be made to this rule.

Paris, 7 Rue Lincoln VIIIe [on mourning stationery] - Is sorry to hear Frazer is unwell, but is cheered that she is there to support him; admires 'Aftermath'; is increasingly concerned about fanatics and armaments of Germany and hopes that when the catastrophe is unleashed that England will be strong and ready; if not there is much to fear next spring.

Trinity College, Cambridge - Thanks him for the copy of 'Greece and Rome'; is just back from visiting his brother at the British Legation in Persia.

Trinity Lodge. Death of Andrew Burton, sends George Russell's autobiography.

Thanks Flora for sending back the Santayanas, and is glad she enjoyed them; remarks on the 'curious lapse of memory about Lady Stanley's knee-breeched footmen!'. Thinks she might like Santayana's "Last Puritan", which is 'not perhaps a good novel', but 'much better written than most novels, and full of good things'; the 'very recognisable portrait of Frank Russell is amusing'. The hero is 'more or less [Santayana] himself, but less interesting'. Offers to lend Flora his copy. Used to own some 'quite good sonnets' which Santayana gave him, but seems to have lost them; Santayana is 'not really a poet, though he sometimes writes good poetry'. Now finds "Lucifer [: a theological tragedy]", which Santayana also gave him, 'rather dull'. Thinks Flora may enjoy some of the 'less philosophical' works like "Soliloquies in England', and could lend them.

Trinity College, Cambridge. - Thanks Bob for "[Translations from] Lucretius", which he has now read most of; the excellent impression he gained of it when Bob gave him a 'taste of it up at the Lake Hunt' is quite confirmed. Lucretius was 'a wonderful old bird' and "est, ut ante, carus" ['is, as before', dear: a pun on his name].

Downside Abbey, Stratton-on-the-Fosse, near Bath.—Expresses sympathy at the way he has been treated. Is glad he is in touch with Father Bonnar. Invites him to visit when he is free from examining. Defends aspects of [C. S.] Lewis’s Hamlet paper. Dom Sebastian [Moore?], who is reviewing Preston’s book [on the Four Quartets] for the [Downside] Review, remains convinced of Eliot’s greatness and would like to discuss him with Smith. Hay, he finds, is an amateur historian, ‘but generally considered sound by responsible Catholics’. Recommends, for the other side of the secular priests’ case, Leo Hicks’ review of Hughes’s book in The Month. Cannot find the ‘Persons-Raleigh’ reference, but can ask Hicks if it is urgent.

Upper Terrace Lodge, Hampstead, N.W. Would like to attend the feast of stories in Mr Ralston's programme but finds the weather makes such plans uncertain; thinks he would enjoy reading Sydney Dobell's Life and Letters edited by Miss Jolly, who is now in the Pyrenees with Mrs Dobell.
