Chetwynd House, Selly Oak, Nr. Birmingham. Dated Nov. 4/03 - Sends him the notes on Syrian and Armenian folklore [not transcribed] for him to evaluate; asks him to notice the point about the Children of the Sky as rain-producers.
Includes 3pp typescript entitled 'A Note on the Plane Wave in an Isotropic Dielectric' by S. Ray, 2 April 1921.
Woodside Lodge.
Department of Oriental Antiquities and of Ethnography, British Museum - Thanks her for the prospectus for the 'Anthologia Anthropologica', will put it on the agenda of the Royal Anthropological Institute; thinks that there should be summaries or references rather than long extracts from books readily accessible in public libraries.
Manuscript draft, in Frazer's hand, of a list of passages specified by page number in the abridged edition; with a list of four other passages from 'Balder the Beautiful', 'The Scapegoat', and several prefaces to individual volumes.
Ambassade de France, à Londres - Will be happy to see the Frazers and M. Ceccaldi on 18 November.
Trinity College - Apologises for not paying his respects at the meeting of the Library Committee, and explains that he did not realise he was there until too late.
City Chambers, Glasgow - Sends a remembrance of £40 as a token of Glasgow's esteem.
Wallington, Cambo, Northumberland; addressed to Bob at 29 Beaufort Street, Chelsea, and forwarded to the National Liberal Club. - Is glad the show [an art exhibition organised by Roger Fry] is coming to Cambridge; has only even seen prints and engravings; has written to [Arthur] Shipley. Bob won the battle [of toy soldiers]. Had 'two splendid days' stalking and driving grouse with Howey and Shade.
Florence; addressed to Bob at The Mill House, Westcott, Nr. Dorking. - Leaving on Saturday or Sunday for Siena, where they do not expect to spend more than a week, before going on to Pisa and Milan. His book ["Giovanni Bellini"] has been attacked by '[Charles] Loeser & Co who think they will be dealing a blow at B.B. [Bernard Berenson]'; it seems to be 'humorous'; though the point they make is 'ridiculous'. He and Helen went on an expedition with Mrs [Janet] Ross, whom they like very much. Bob must tell them when and where to expect him.
Train near Carlisle. - Cost her 'a great deal to leave [Donald Tovey] in Ireland yesterday' and cannot rid herself of 'apprehension while he is in this discouraged and suffering condition'; he has been shocked to find that there is a 'dickeFreundshaft' [great friendship] between Mrs [Mary] Berenson and both Kellys; 'that woman' is a real fraud as 'Miss Kelly would hate anything not entirely clean and right when she saw it'. Nothing could be better for Donald than to spend time with Robert Trevelyan and make music with Bessie; unfortunately he is probably not well enough to finish off the Encyclopædia [Britannica], though perhaps he could get it done in the mornings then make music in the afternoons. Asks Bessie to send him on to Mrs Henry Joachim on Saturday the 22nd. Also asks if Bessie can send a telegraph when Donald reaches her. Still in a nervous state and should have stayed longer at Nauheim; had to go to Ireland this time but does not think she will be able to do so again.
