With stamp and note acknowledging receipt of payment.

Announces that he is going to Paris for the Easter vacation. Remarks that he has not received any letters from her, and presumes that she is busy 'on domestic cases'. Reports that he has not heard anything about Wellington College for a while, and asks how many boys there are there. Mentions that he saw a paragraph in the Times 'about chapel', and hopes that they have not all caught cold in going in and out. Asks after Martin, and wonders if he would remember Henry if he saw him. Reports that Arthur is leaving them now for the continent; thinks that he is wise in going abroad instead of going home before the Tripos list is out, 'because at home he would brood over it so much more.' Claims that he will be surprised if Arthur 'is anywhere else than 2d.'

Asks if she has played any more chess, and states that he has had a game or two since he came up to Cambridge, but finds that it has always interfered with his work. In relation to his Arabic, claims that 'it has languished rather of late', and believes that the only place where he can work well at a subject of that kind is a place like Dresden, where he can isolate himself completely. Nevertheless, he hopes to be pretty well advanced both in Arabic and in Hebrew by the end of the Long Vacation. Remarks that he has heard that 'there are ten volumes of Les Miserables', but that he has hitherto been able to read only the fourth. Believes that there are two volumes of Kinglake's history of the Crimea, but that he read the first three weeks previously, and has got no further.

Is going down to Rugby for a day or two at the end of the week; undertakes to avoid politics, and to discuss only 'the more interesting subject of Matrimony.' Reports that lately he has been reading ' "Ladies' advice to each other" in several little books, and flatter[s himself] that he knows a thing or two of [her] sex'. Claims that he did so because he hates 'being taunted as a Fellow of a College with ignorance of the female character'. Sends his love to Edward, and remarks that he has not heard 'that he is found out yet.'

Includes a black and white photograph.

Concerning the proposed marriage between Hawkshaw's daughter Editha and Burlton Bennett .

No. 15826 of 'L'Écho de Paris'.

c/o Mrs James Martin, Parc Bracket, Camborne, Cornwall - Thanks her for the cuttings from the 'Times Literary Supplement' and 'Nature' which he returns [not present]; admires the Downie biography; his brother-in-law has died at age 74.

Rome, Via Principe Amedeo 14 - Is pleased to hear that they are coming to Rome in April; the Congrès du Folklore Italien will take place in May and they would be very happy if he could attend; hopes that Sir James received his letter as President of the 'Società Romana di Antropologia' informing him that he had been elected honorary member, describes the society, and suggests that they might call an extraordinary session while he visits, with his permission.

"Hochried", Murnau/Staffelsee - Wrote to Dr Page as soon as he received her note, and hopes Sir James' honorarium has arrived; has read the first two books of the 'Fasti' and admires it; is writing to Heinemann to grant permission to keep the books loaned them; is pleased to hear they will be moving to the Temple; thanks her for sending him Reinach's note.

Museo Nacional de Arqueologia, Historia y Etnografia, Mexico - Is sending a bronze medal commemorating the first centenary of the museum.

Prades. - Has heard from Joachim [Röntgen] that Engelbert has arrived and intends to remain in Europe for good. Hopes that he has seen that America has many resources for art, and a people who are 'young, sympathetic, eager to learn'; all the same, for a European artist the time comes when the call of Europe is irresistible. He hopes very much to see Engelbert again. The next [Prades] Festival will be, like that of 1952, devoted to chamber music. Organisation is under way; 'things purely of the spirit seem very strange to the customs and the spirit of our times', but it is important to 'feed the flame'.

Originally enclosing several photographs of pictures and statues from the [Louvre] Museum in Paris: two drawings by Leonardo da Vinci; a picture of Charles I; an old man's head by Durer; a lady making lace - 'perhaps an ancestor of Mummy' - by Van der Meer [Vermeer]; Italian paintings of an old man with 'a big bulbous nose' and of Mary and Jesus; a Giorgione; and a Watteau; Julian has probably never heard of the French painter Corot, who 'liked bent trees'; the 'Man-bull' comes from Nineveh, and it would be 'fun to see him fly'; the winged bull and lion made from coloured bricks come from Persia; the 'little ladies' made out of earthenware are Greek grave goods, so that 'the dead may have lady friends to talk to', one carries a fan; 'Cesar is Cesar [Julius Caesar?]' and no doubt Julian has heard about him; finally an Egyptian sphinx. Will be starting home in about eighteen days.

Pension Moragues, Puerto Andraitx, Majorca. - Is ashamed of not telling Bob how much pleasure he got from his "Rimeless Numbers", though it was the Propertius, which is 'not rhymeless', which he liked best; also thought the part about the 'rhododendrons and azaleas' in "The Wood" 'marvellously vivid'. Likes his hexameters. Glad Bob did not get 'stuck' in the fifth volume of "[The Tale of] Genji"; has now done more than two thirds of the sixth volume, which is 'far better' than any other part, but 'correspondingly more difficult to do'; is doing four hours work on it every morning and usually several more later in the day, yet rarely manages more than two or three pages. Has written all of Bob's corrections, all sound, into his copy; had better note them at the beginning of the sixth volume. Has 'detected some indications' that Cyril Connolly is in Majorca, but has not seen him. A 'Nubian scholar' called Armbruster, who was at Kings [College, Cambridge] and knows Goldie [Lowes Dickinson] 'fairly well' lives here; his father was 'a good deal connected with Wagner'. He has a 'delightful house and a wife from Syria who cooks well, but his head is just a little too full of Hamitic particles'.

Wallington, Cambo, Morpeth. - Expecting Elizabeth with pleasure on the 9th. Julian is very well. Hopes Elizabeth has a good time at Cambridge; it will be interesting to stay in the College [Newnham?]; asks to be remembered to Miss [Mary?] Fletcher, whose post [Librarian] must be 'delightful. Elizabeth must not worry about Caroline's [Belgian] refugees: George thinks there might be a delay in sending them [to Snitterfield: see 11/10] as the Central Committee is 'so overwhelmed'. It is George's birthday; Mary planned that he should plant a tree, but it is pouring with rain. Elizabeth will be glad when her guest [Catherine Abercrombie] is 'sent off home': she should be very grateful to Elizabeth. Thinks Miss Evans 'manages Julian very well'; he is not always obedient and 'wants a strong hand'.

12 Pembroke Gardens, Kensington, W. - Asks Trevelyan to let her know what he and Tovey thought of Act III [her German translation of their "Bride of Dionysus"]; supposes Tovey will be soon starting his term at Edinburgh. Wonders what he was working at when staying with Trevelyan, and whether Miss Weisse has returned or if they have received news of her. Has received some news about her own mother and niece and so is less anxious about them for the present. Is staying with Mrs Sickert, who is not very well; it is a 'comfort' to be with friends whose hearts, like hers, 'are so much in both countries'. Robert is also ill; hopes they will both recover soon. Leonhard is a special constable and 'takes his truncheon for a walk' for four hours each morning.

St Paul Seminary, 2200 Grand Avenue, St Paul, Minnesota.—Smith’s disgust at the failings of the Church and his own wretchedness since leaving England might both, he suggests, be relieved ‘by drawing apart from the surface of things’ in the manner described by St John of the Cross. Recommends he avoid talking to priests, especially while he is among Catholics whose faith is mainly animism. Refers to the bombing of London, and quotes in consolation St Jerome’s reflections on the sack of Rome. His coming to the seminary has saved him from ‘gibbering imbecility’. Encourages Smith to distract himself with literature.

Press cuttings with reviews of Trevelyan's translation of Theocritus' idylls, most sent to Trevelyan by Durrant's Press Cuttings agency, from: "Poetry Review"; "John O' London's Weekly" ("What's the Use of Latin" by W. H. D. Rouse, also reviewing "Roman Panorama" by Grose-Hodge); the "Guardian"; "Church Times"; "Oxford Magazine"; "Times Literary Supplement"; "New Statesman and Nation" (by Louis MacNeice, comparing Trevelyan's translation to C. Day Lewis's earlier version of the "Georgics"); "Cambridge Review" (by N. C. Joliffe).

List of characters and description of scene on the first page. Text of play written on recto with corrections and additions on facing pages.

Has got '11 fox caterpillars', and one of the new boys, Hicks, has lent him his breeding cage. The new boys are Holt, Rumbolt, Fleming, Mr Wilkins' son, [Tom] Booth 'a cousin of ours', and Hicks, who is the 'only new boy in the third'. They had honey for tea yesterday.

The Park, Prestwich, Manchester. - Thinks Bob should see the enclosed letters from Miss [Meta] Gaskell [19/22] and Mr Broadfield [no longer present] which she received last week. Has bought six copies of his play ["Bride of Dionysus"] which she is sending to friends whom she thinks will admire it; expects he has had 'endless letters of congratulations' from his 'many friends'. Sends love to Elizabeth; expects she is still at Hove and hopes the sea air does her and Julian good after the 'trying' winter. Would very much to see them all later if they can visit.
