Part of Papers of Sir James Frazer

54 Cours Napoléon, Ajaccio, Corse - In the letter of 30 October, he is resigned to the fact that they will find a collaborator for Sir James and have their own requirements; refers to the reception of Lilly Frazer’s books at the local school; writes of Madeleine, recovering from typhoid fever, and her brother, who has just received a doctorate in law. In the letter of 29 Nov. he has agreed to organise the surveys for Varagnac for the Encyclopedie Françoise. In the letter of 12 Nov., he is glad to hear they will be at their club until the end of the year; thinks the translation by Madame Roth is ingenious, but it is hard to match the quality of Sir James’ verse. The achievement of 'The Fear of the Dead' is difficult if one cannot reread the documentation and though Frazer has a good memory he should have someone help who can find what he needs and read it to him. All three letters contain news of Martine [Giamarchi, a great niece].
