Loeb Classical Library - Has consulted with Dr Loeb about the payment for the 'Fasti', and while the normal payment would be £50 or £60, they are willing to pay £100, £50 paid now; the L.C.L. will not get the same benefit from the work given its publication in the Library edition first; acknowledges that the money can bear little relation to the value of the work done.

Inch-ma-home - Thanks him for his kind letter [in response to his apology for not paying his respects at the meeting of the Library Committee], will treasure the volume of sermons.

City Chambers, Glasgow - Sends a Christmas and New Year remembrance; 'the Old City is wearing well and maintaining its industrial dignity against all the attacks of aggression'.

7A, Stanley Gardens, W.11. – Is going to Oxford, where he is to stay with [? Henry Cecil Kennedy] Wyld. Thanks Trevelyan for his kindness regarding present difficulties, and advice about Oxford.

White Mill End, Sevenoaks, Kent - Thanks him for his article 'Our Debt to France' in the 'Morning Post'; hopes he is or will be a member of the Friends of France, encloses three of their papers, has started a chapter in Sevenoaks.

Paris. - Originally enclosing four more photographs of pictures by Corot [one was sent with 15/14] from a Parisian gallery; the broken Roman bridge is at Narni in Italy, where Corot travelled as a young man.

Bankipore. - Received his mother's last letter at Benares, with one written by Bessie from the train to Wallington. They are stopping here for three nights on the way to Calcutta, staying with [Syed Ross] Masood, a 'young Mohammedan Barrister' whom he has met before several times in England, a friend of [E.M.] Forster's, and who is 'clever and artistic'. There is not much to see here; Patna, of which Bankipore is a suburb, is 'the most sordid, horrible and slummy place' they have seen yet in India, with little remaining to be seen of Pataliputra. They will go to Gaya for the day tomorrow, to see Buddha's Bo tree; tells his mother how to pronounce 'Buddha'. They will stay two or three weeks at Calcutta, perhaps visit Darjeeling for a few nights, then go south to Madras. Is very well, as is [Goldsworthy Lowes] Dickinson now; they parted company with Forster at Chhatarpur. Benares is a 'wonderful place', where they made friends with a mystic, 'a charming man, with a charming, but fantastic, philosophy'. Thanks his mother for all the news about Julian, who seems to be doing very well; it was good that he could stay so long at Wallington. Bessie seems to have had a very good time in the Netherlands; is glad that she is getting on so well with the Bottomleys and that the Shiffolds seems to be suiting them. Still quite cold here at nights; rather like Rome or Florence in December, except with no rain. They just missed seeing [Ekai] Kawaguchi, the Japanese traveller in Tibet, who lives in Benares learning Sanskrit but has gone away for a few days; Robert is 'very much disappointed'. Montagu [Edwin Montagu, British Secretary of State for India] arrived at Benares the day they left; they were invited to a party to meet him but could not stay. Politics seem to be going better now; hopes the [First Balkan] war can be settled soon. Always reads the "Manchester Guardian" and "Nation", which arrive weekly; the news is 'stale' but better than the 'very poor telegrams' in the Indian newspapers. Sends love to his father; supposes his parents will be at Welcombe by now.

Y.M.C.A. postcard, no address given. - Has posted the Bach volume back to her today, and thanks her for the loan; the 'soldier boys have loved the pastorale' [see also 18/11] which he has played for them four times. They 'do not entirely lack discrimination, as certain purveyors of cheap and nasty music (?) [sic]' would claim. Sends regards to the Trevelyans and to [Donald] Tovey.

[Excelsior Springs, Missouri.]—Is at home on vacation. Matters at the seminary have deteriorated since he last wrote, and he has been struggling to distinguish the ‘Church as it is’ from the ‘vulgarity of its action at the practical level’. Is determined to remain there till the end of the year (May), but hopes to find an alternative in the mean time. However, America seems an even more impossible place to live than England, not only illiterate but arrogant, and despite its failings the seminary is a refuge. The alternative may be to teach English in China, Japan, Egypt, or India, as others from Cambridge have. Has heard that Leavis insulted Wilson Knight at a meeting of the Doughty Society. Edward Morley sends greetings.

Notebook also used from back page in for further classical notes including: comments on Virgil's "Aeneid" book 8; notes on Roman history.

Trinity College Cambridge [on headed notepaper for Clare College, with Clare crossed through]:- Thanks his mother for her letter. 'Old Vanity' [A. G. Watson, of Harrow] is here, staying at the lodge [the Master's Lodge at Trinity]; Robert saw him briefly, and he 'seemed very happy'. Charlie met him at dinner, but Robert dined with the Lytteltons [Kathleen and Arthur?], sitting next to Miss Gladstone and 'the Newnhamite who is expected to have done best in the classical tripos [Florence Stawell?]', which finished yesterday. They 'all hope that O'Rorke has got through', but are not sure.

Charlie 'seems very well indeed, but has not been doing much work'. They went for an 'expedition in canoes up the Cam yesterday', bathed, and 'had tea at a village'. Hears Bowen is 'cutting out all the Waterloo part from G[eorgie]'s poem'. Hopes that his parents are well. Supposes the [general] election will definitely be in July. He and his friends have 'settled to go to the Lakes, and not to Scotland'; there will be four or five of them.

The Park, Prestwich, Manchester. - Thinks Robert may like to see this letter [19/13] from Mrs Herbert Philips about his poems ["The Bride of Dionysus"], of which Anna Maria sent her a copy last week. Professor Herford also lunched with her last week, took a copy of the book and read it on the lawn; he 'came in for tea highly pleased... and enthusiastic'. If only Robert could come during term time [at the Victoria University of Manchester]; knows he would enjoy meeting him.

58 Oakley Street, Chelsea, S.W. - Booksellers are 'disposed to deny all knowledge' of Bob's book ["Sisyphus"] and say it is 'not on Longman's list: Bob should 'stir up' his publishers. Has managed to get hold of it and thinks it 'much the best thing' Bob has done, though the 'queer metres & methods of scansion', which he supposes are influenced by [Robert] Bridges, are sometimes puzzling. Doubts however whether 'bigamy had been made a felony in the time of Sisyphus'. Hopes that Bessie and Paul are well.
