24 Ladbroke Gardens, Notting Hill, W. Dated 12 July, 1904 - Thanks him for the trouble he has taken on the Attic Tribes but has decided to omit the whole section [of his book 'Native Tribes of South East Australia'], and will write to [Lorimer] Fison to explain his reasons; has written a paragraph defending the 'All Father business' in view of [Baldwin] Spencer's objections; went to see Mr [William Napier?] Shaw [at the Meteorological Office?] but he was away and he found nothing of use, at the British Museum he found the Queensland Rain Map which he sends Frazer.

Part of Papers of Robert Calverley Trevelyan and Elizabeth Trevelyan

Wallington, Cambo, Northumberland. - Will be happy to 'write a line' [a reference] for Elizabeth's nurse but needs to know her name. Hopes Elizabeth is feeling the cold less. Sir George has had 'a sharp attack of "Rheumaticks" making him quite lame', but he is much better this morning. Agrees about Miss Martin, who is 'so sterling and always... to be depended on'; Elizabeth will see how good she was with children, as she 'never played on their feelings, as so many governesses do, but kept them in order quite naturally'. Booa [Mary Prestwich] is very busy but 'seems cheerful'; Caroline took her for a drive and walk yesterday which she enjoyed. Hopes the game arrived safely. Robert should have the five copies of his book ["Polyphemus and Other Poems"] 'sent direct as if from him'; they are looking forward to seeing it. Glad Elizabeth liked the blotter and hopes she will use it; sorry that she still has to go on with treatment but at least she can do it herself; expects she will 'find the day long enough getting up later for another week'.
