Halban's letter of 29 January 1940 (in French) describes the difficulties of research under prevailing conditions and the deposit of their results in sealed letters to ensure priority.

Will try to obtain papers of the Labourer's Friend Society for Ward's friend; success of the model lodging house; there will be no revolution in Britain: 'the poorest mechanics know the truths of the relations between labour & capital as well as the laws of gravity'; contrast with France; dismay here at sequestration of French royal property; fear that no private property will be safe; property should be secure whatever its value; missed M. [Coinderat?] when he called.

32 and 34 Bloomsbury Street, W.C.1. - Printed message inside: 'With Best Wishes for Christmas and the New Year from TIME and TIDE". Hand written message on the back page of the card, saying the card feels 'rather a poor return' for Bob's 'beautiful collection "From the Shiffolds"', with which she is 'very delighted'. Is 'very proud' to put it on her poetry shelves, and hopes that they can meet again soon. Sends best wishes for 1948.

British Red Cross Society, First British Ambulance Unit for Italy, S. Giovanni di Manzano, Udine, Italy. - Thanks Bob for 'Krishna' ["The Pearl Tree"], which he read yesterday on the first real Italian summer day and 'found it very refreshing to the spirit'; it has a '"mental atmosphere" of its own' giving it 'originality and success', and the metre is 'very fine and variegated'. Has been reading much Milton recently and appreciates the relation of Bob's poetry to the Miltonic metres. Is now reading the rest of the book ["An Annual of New Poetry, 1917"]. Asks in a postscript whether Bob invented the Krishna story.

Wallington, Cambo, Morpeth. - Good to hear Julian is doing well; she and Sir George will visit on 20 October; not sure how much she will be doing in London, since she wants to see pictures and perhaps go to the theatre, so may not stay the night. Must be very interesting to see Mr [Donald] Tovey at work; sure Elizabeth will help him a little 'by "intelligent sympathy"'. A postscript notes that she 'must remember the homespun [?] next year'.

Hears Julian is going to Paris, so may see [Maria] Germanova; if he does, wonders if he could, through 'tactful leading questions', find out how her finances and ability to pay for the flat stand; he has been paying the whole rent for about the last year, but she has said that after the marriage of Andreyusha [Kalitinsky, her son], he would not need to do so, as the new bride's father would give the young people enough money to be independent. [Hasan Shahid] Suhrawardy need therefore no longer send a large part of his salary to support Andreyusha, but instead could pay for the flat. She may not need any help from Bob, but he feels uneasy; Suhrawardy's last letter said that he had 'never been so poor as now' so perhaps he is sending more than he can really afford to Germanova. Does not want them to be in any monetary distress, but it is difficult to write about all this directly to her. Went to see Udai Shankar yesterday, and 'delight[s] in him, and the Indian music as much as ever'. Hopes to see Julian and Ursula before too long.

11 Oak Hill Park, Frognal, Hampstead. - If Mrs Trevelyan has time to write, would like to hear any news she has from her husband: 'whether he is impressed with India & cares for the people he is meeting'. Hopes he has been keeping well: heard 'something about German measles', but that was a while ago. Any time Mrs Trevelyan would like to come and sit [for a portrait] she would be very welcome.

Downside Abbey, Stratton-on-the-Fosse, near Bath.—Would like to see his articles, and asks him to send them as they appear. Encloses a prospectus for the [Downside] Review and asks him to pass it to possible contributors. Discusses Cressy’s Sancta Sophia. Refers to Warwick Bond [editor of Lyly, etc.] and to certain articles by Croll [see 1/101]. ‘I wonder if [Thomas] Nash derives from some derivative vestige of the “homely-idiomatic-pulpit-medieval style”?’ Recommends a review of Baskerville’s Suppression of the Monasteries.

6 St. John's Road, Glasgow, S.1. - Is subscribing to the bibliography for himself and for his brother; will work to get the printed circulars distributed; hopes they were able to visit Lucerne.

Training College, Trivandrum - Is an admirer from an area full of superstition, where sacrifices are made on the foundations of a dam, prayers for rain are at taxpayer expense, the Maharajah is weighed in gold; someone saw him reading "a study in magic and religion" and believed he was a magician; Christians have not heard any criticism of their religion; asks that cheaper editions be published so more could read him.

Accompanied by the envelope, redirected from Liverpool to Trinity College.

9 rue Verniquet, Paris - Sends her brochures in which he has indicated Sir James' support; if Professor Mazon sends him the volumes, he hopes to send them the Bourdelle portraits; Docteur Couchoud has returned full of interest in Palestine.

Written as if from Charlotte Bartlett ["A Room With A View"] as Trevelyan seems to have confused Miss Bartlett with her cousin Lucy Honeychurch. Forster will visit on Sunday.

69 Gower Street - Thanks him for the Smith's prize paper, is confused by Whewell's added notes until he remembered seeing a review in the Edinburgh (in a bookseller's, he does not read it), remarking, 'I thought at first that you were hinting that I wrote the article in question which would have been two queer things in one 1. Supposing that I should write on optics 2. that I should write in the Edinburgh'. Points out that he has spelled Caesar's name wrong in one of the marginal notes ('Hast though appealed unto Caesar, &c'): 'when an experimental geometer appeals to his geometry it is to "See, sir!" not to Caesar'. Also points out a di/de typographic error: '(never say di) if I ever met a Di Morgan I dare say I shall learn something about it.'

WW did not send RJ his first sheet 'so that I am a good deal in the dark as to what you mean to do with your positive law. In the mean time I find some phrases which had rather startled me do not startle the barristers to whom I repeated them and of course I was wrong'. RJ expects to send WW the first sheet of his lectures next month.
