35 cuttings of articles in which Frazer is mentioned personally or in which his books are mentioned as a source for a discussion of local customs and folklore, from England, Scotland, France, Germany, Switzerland, Australia, and India; they include two copies of an article, 'Portrait of a Scholar' by R. A. Downie in the 'Glasgow Evening News' of 20 Apr. 1932 (Item 28/117); Jean de Pange's article mentioning Frazer, 'Le peuple anglo-français' in the 'Journal de Genève' of 6 Dec. 1936 (Item 28/123); 2 copies of Erle Cox's review of 'Aftermath' in an article headed 'Man's Beginnings' in 'The Australasian' of 9 Jan. 1937 (Item 28/125); and Reginald Pound's description of Lady Frazer in his article 'Headline People' in Manchester's 'Sunday Chronicle' dated 15 Aug. 1937 (Item 28/141); as well as manuscript notes in Lady Frazer's hand accompanying an article about Frazer insisting on paying a railway company for past freight charges for a heavy trunk of books in an article headed 'Sir James Frazer's "Conscience Money"' from an unidentified newspaper (Item 28/111).

Friends of the Bodleian, Bodleian Library, Oxford - Thanks her for her letter, they have received the manuscript [of 'The Growth of Plato's Ideal Theory']; Macmillan could borrow it if they need it before it officially becomes Bodleian property; any part of it could be photographed by the Clarendon Press; is sending her letter on to the President of Magdalen as she requests.

237 South Mathilda Str., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania - Asks if Frazer knows of a tradition that Jesus Christ arose from the dead at sunset rather than at sunrise.

"Hochried", Murnau/Staffelsee - Thanks him for the congratulations on his 60th birthday.

East Chaldon, Dorchester, Dorset. - Thanks Trevelyan for his letter and gift of Lucretius: sure he will 'find great pleasure' in Trevelyan's translation [of "De Rerum Natura"]. Glad Trevelyan found 'Mr Weston' [his own "Mr. Weston's Good Wine"] to his taste, and that he intends to read 'Unclay". Sends love to Julian.

3 Suhrawardy Avenue, Calcutta. - Is sorry that [J.C.] Squire will not take his poems; does not know of any other journals which might print them, perhaps "Time and Tide" would. Trevelyan misunderstood about Leonard Woolf: Suhrawardy wants to send a selection of his poems, plus the "Old Man's Songs", to find out if the Hogarth Press will publish them and at what cost. Is glad that Trevelyan and Bessie approve of Julian's choice of wife [Ursula Darwin], and congratulates them all; remembers Julian when he first met Trevelyan, before the war, in a house they had taken in London for Julian's operation. Has been unwell since his return with liver trouble. Longs to return to Europe, and for an appointment at the League [of Nations]. During the six weeks of autumn holidays, he hopes to go to see the ruins of Persepolis, Ctesiphon and Shiraz. [Marie] Germanova has been appearing in "Crime and Punishment" at Vichy; has as good news as possible of her and her husband [Alexandr Kalitinsky]; they are both 'ailing', but Andriusha [their son] is there and Rexusha [the dog] is taking care of them.

3 Via Camerata, Florence. - Asks if someone could book him a room at the Twee Steden, or the Angleterre if that is not possible; she need not come to meet him at the station since he will arrive so late. Berenson has given him a list of Russian books in translation to read. His mother says they should decide themselves whether he should accompany to England, and do as her uncle and aunt think right. Does hope she will be able to come on the 14th and spend some time at Welcombe. The Frys have got them a ring. Hopes her aunt is still better, as he could not bear not to see Bessie, will shave away the bristles from the journey so that they can pay each other some of their 'debt of K[isses]'.

Watts Gallery, Compton, Guildford. - Thanks Trevelyan for his 'kind Christmas gift' [this year's "From the Shiffolds"?]. Hopes to see him when he returns from London. Adds a postscript asking if Trevelyan knows [Lacy?] Collison-Morley, an 'elderly man learned in Italian' whom Alston would like to bring for a visit if Trevelyan is 'agreeable'.

Wixenford, Eversley, Winchfield:- Luckily his time in London this holidays coincides with the Trevelyans' return: he will be able to come to the Admiralty on the 18th [April] and try to be there for 11 am. Miss Bartlett (the matron) will be glad to have instructions about health, and asks what infectious diseases Bobbie has had. Thinks he mentioned that the school will 'meet after Easter on April 21st'; a master will always travel on the 2.05 train from Wixenford to escort boys whose parents wish it, but expects she will be able to bring Bobbie herself this first time. His wife joins him in 'kind regards'.
