Headed notepaper, Royal Archaeological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland, 16, New Burlington St, S. W.

On A.G. Riza

Trinity Lodge, Cambridge - Congratulates his appointment to the Savilian Chair of Geometry in Oxford, regrets his departure. As for [Samuel?] Pollard, he thinks he and the Senior Tutor will be able to act now "and get indemnity afterward".

Carnarvon - WW is glad that HJR is also employed taking students on an educational tour, and hopes HJR has been 'running up a proper quantity of Scotch metaphysics and Greek history with your lines and circles. If your metaphysical examiner be a man of the same kidney as ours was[,] your best plan by far is to read the article metaphysics in the Encyc. Brit. till you can write out a regular syllabus of it[,] for such would the answer to our paper have been - at all events it will be as good a guide as you can have. As to the philology the Port Royal Latin grammar and Harris' Hermes are the fountain for wh. they generally derive it'. Brown's [Thomas Brown] paper was derived from the first of these works. Will WW find HJR at Cambridge in October? WW has accepted the office of lecturer [in mathematics].

Eton College - Thanks WW for his translations ['Verse Translations from the German, including Lenore, Schiller's Song of the Bell', 1847] which he read with great pleasure. ECH is not really qualified to comment on WW's view of Aristotle but agrees with what WW has said. The Times - 'that clever but unprincipled favourer of the majority in Power' - has made ECH fear Lord John Russell's projected plan for the University: 'But it is better not to anticipate evil, which will come soon enough'.

London, Vere Street, 'near Oxford Chappel'. Sent to Sir Edward Littleton at Fedgeley [Teddesley?] Coppice, Staffordshire. - Apologises for not finishing any more busts. Has had to finish the statue of the Duke of Somerset and some other things to keep his men at work. Has finished four busts for Littleton: Milton; Sir Isaac Newton; Locke; and Bacon; now promises to begin that of Sir Walter Raleigh. Describes work and reason for delays.

Has called on Mr Wilson to see the portrait of Littleton's wife, as Littleton desired, and likes it very much. Ends with wishes for good health of both Littletons.

Includes 3pp typescript entitled 'A Note on the Plane Wave in an Isotropic Dielectric' by S. Ray, 2 April 1921.

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.

Ciro's Club, Leicester Square, London, W.C. [Headed Y.M.C.A. - H.M. Forces on Active Service - notepaper].- She will see from the enclosure [no longer present] that he has '"disarranged" the Bach Pastorale & performed it. It sounded very well for two violins, viola & organ', and was 'much appreciated' by the troops who 'completely filled the building'. Sends 'regards & remembrances' to Mr Trevelyan.

1-147: letters from Caroline Trevelyan to Elizabeth Trevelyan (a few addressed to both Elizabeth and Robert Trevelyan), except for 85 and 86 (letters from Sir George Trevelyan to Elizabeth Trevelyan) and 87 (telegram from Charles Trevelyan to Robert Trevelyan).
148-208: letters from Sir George Trevelyan to Elizabeth Trevelyan (168 is a postcard).

Offprints of Frazer's speech at la Société Ernest Renan, 11 December 1920 printed in 'la Grande Revue', March 1921.

Pages 29-124, 141-188, 205-220, 511-524, all unmarked, three of the signatures unopened.

Melrose, Shoot-Up-Hill, N.W.2. - Writes to propose a time to meet with Lord Balfour to discuss the proposed expedition [of Roscoe to Central Africa].

Harts, Almondsbury, Bristol. - Thanks Bob for sending her his poem ["A Dream"]. Her sister read it twice before she had a chance to see it. Asks if Bob has copies for sale, as she would like a few to send to friends; thinks it 'one of the best things' he has written, on a level with his 'letter to Goldie [Lowes Dickinson]'. Asks what his other friends think of it. His 'powers do not decay', though he 'often scratch[es] his head' and says he does not know what to do. The reconciliation of Lucifer and Christ seems original and interesting; must read "Par[adise] Regained" again. Wishes she could see Bob and talk to him. Finds Lady Bessborough and her family letters 'fascinating', as is everything that 'gets near Byron'; the letters are 'newly published by Lord Bessborough' ["Lady Bessborough and Her Family Circle"], and inspired her to [re-?] read and enjoy Byron. Has also read a new biography of [Edward] Trelawny [by Margaret Armstrong?]. 'That lot and the Wordsworth-Coleridge group never grow stale'. Heard 'scraps of a talk on Hazlitt' by ? on her 'very bad wireless' recently; wishes more of such talks were broadcast.
