Asks whether the 'I. of the S.' is proved or not. Wishes Myers to dine with him 'on Thursday at 7.15', and reports that his Anglo-Indian friends, the [Charles?] Bernards will be there, and he wishes them to hear Myers' 'additional evidence'.

States that he shall be very proud to talk to Sidgwick's 'Society'. Tells him to fix any time that suits him. Says that he has not got a subject, but expects to be able to come up with something. Announces that he will be in Cambridge soon, and hopes that he will see Sidgwick then.

17A Northmoor Road, Oxford.—Discusses the grounds for attributing Respublica to Udall.

Written from Downing College Lodge.

Trinity College - If RJ is applying to the University press syndicate he should do so this term. There is a movement at large which wants to establish a professorship in political economy 'on nearly the same conditions as that at Oxford. It is to be established in honour of Huskisson [William Huskisson], by some friends of his - there are two difficulties: one to fix the mode of election the other to get rid of Payne [George Payne]. They wanted to put Malthus in as the first professor'. WW has sent another review of RJ's book to the British Critic ['Review of An Essay on the Distribution of Wealth and Sources of Taxation by the Revd Richard Jones', The British Critic, Quarterly Theological Review and Ecclesiastical Record, 10, 1831].

Includes correspondence re the death of her cousin, Elise Paget. Also contains letter from J. J. Thomson inviting Professor and Mrs Roy, and Miss [?Rose] Paget to his rooms at Trinity College, Cambridge, 30 October 1889.

c/o D.F. Tovey Esq, 28 Rutland St, Edinburgh. - If Bessie could put an enclosure into 'decent English' it would 'be doing Donald [Tovey] a kindness'; she herself and Madame de Beughem have tried, but she gave up at the 'charming description of the Azzopardi Studies'. Asks Bessie to publicise the Beethoven recitals. It is 'cold and wet and inexpressibly dirty' here but painfully familiar; she seems to see her 'parents and their children treading the well known streets again'. Very pleased with Donald's 'surroundings' and confident that Mrs Fry is looking after him; his music room, office and classrooms at the university are 'most dignified and beautiful'. Feels 'it is a Godsend' he came here 'just at this fearful time'; she constantly thinks about Fritz Busch and is sure Donald does even more so. Wishes Donald had showed her Grete [Busch]'s letter but 'nothing past can alter the present anxiety - and that must just be borne'.

Is very happy to hear Trevelyan might be coming; hopes he will be home as he has no important engagements in Rome in summer or early autumn; he could also come to Vallombrosa. His account will be at Trevelyan's disposal for the books, as long as Trevelyan gives a fortnight's notice of his or his friends' arrival. Recommends a few pensions in Florence, but knows little about Rome, and suggests asking Sylvia [Sprigge]. Hopes Julian is recovering, and that Trevelyan's 'domestic troubles may be resolved'; sends love to Bessie. Had a 'charming and most flattering letter' from Trevelyan's brother about his translation [G. M. Trevelyan, "English Social History"].

Hyderabad Deccan. - Cannot say how grateful he is to Trevelyan for enabling Andrusha [Andrew Kalitinsky] to get through his school. India, and the Indians, feel very strange to him, and he misses Europe very much; there is so much careerism at Calcutta and politics does not 'seem to touch the lives of people', while elsewhere 'the Fascist methods of the Govt. of India have cast a gloom on things'. He decided to sacrifice his individual happiness to save his friends from 'never-ending worry' by taking up permanent work in India, but there seems nothing to be had. Lacks influential support: his father has retired and knew few people; his uncles want to make names for themselves. Wishes he might find something at the League [of Nations] but the 'axe' is in operation there too. Asks if [Clifford] Allen might mention him to some people at Geneva; sends congratulations to him [on his peerage] and is glad he will play a role in public life again. Hyderabad is 'romantic' and he likes it better than any other Indian town, but it is getting hot and he finds it difficult to breathe. Is trying to get an interview with Sir A. Hydar, 'the Dictator of the place' [Osman Ali Khan, Asaf Jah VII?] but has not yet succeeded. His book on Islamic art in Spain is doing well here; will give a few lectures on modern English poetry and European literature, for which he is being paid badly. Will go to Delhi and try there for the Leaue. Sends love to Bessie and Julian.

Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - Will send back some of Robert's books: the Chaucer; Conrad's "Lord Jim", which Sir George has read before; and Belloc's book, which Caroline 'can manage better' than Sir George. Arthur Sidgwick, who is 'very well and cheerful', and his wife are here; there has been much toboganning down the hills behind the house by 'all the very large pleasure society of Stratford', though now snow and Stratfordians are gone. Delighted to have news of Elizabeth and the baby [Paul]; Aunt Annie [Philips] is very pleased at the news; she is at Palermo and has been to Segesta, which was a hard journey of eleven hours.

Postmarked Harlech. - Is taking his mother to Italy and asks if Trevelyan knows about pensions at Pallanza and Siena, or any 'mid-Appenine resort'. Is staying at Harlech till Wednesday. Asks if he can borrow the 'Golden Crock (Italian Picture Number)' before he goes [perhaps a reference to James's "The Golden Bowl"?]

128 Avenue Emile Zola, Paris XV - Is glad to hear Frazer liked his book on Spenser, is pleased to hear they are coming to Paris, and suggests a time to meet.

3 Sumner Place, S.W.7. - Congratulates Frazer, asks that he not think of answering, as he has 'other than purely personal reasons for hoping you may escape writer's cramp'. [The letter is marked with a red cross at top, indicating it was answered.]

4 Carlton Gardens, Pall Mall, S.W.1. - Thanks him for the promised present of 'The Gorgon's Head'. Accompanied by the envelope.
