29 Eaton Place - 'Mrs Ricardo (the widow of the celebrated political economist) has written to me to request me to write to you a line of nomination in favour of her grandson Mr William Austin who is gone up to your College. I know how much you must be troubled with similar requests but as Mrs Ricardo is a particular friend of Sir John and Lady Lubbock I hope you will excuse my writing to you on the subject'.

Budapest -- 'Amadeus' was a huge success though reviews are mixed; the schedule of the performances at the Vígszínház is up in the air due to the delayed arrival of the director; enjoyed translating 'Amadeus'.

Byram. - Has little influence with the Pontefract voters but will gladly support an old friend; pities the Blands, on whom the heaviest affliction may soon fall

Includes a little correspondence 1978 for Lady Peierls's 70th birthday.

Musée Pédagogique, Paris - Thanks her for sending him the letter of Sir James ["Our Debt to France"?], agrees that they are now seeing the consequences of mistakes after the war; has been told by M. de [Galligny?] about the idea of the Société des Amis [de Frazer], but the project is going slowly, he's received nothing from Sayn and has not been visited by Raphael Brudo; he has to undergo an operation in a few months; Mme Loyson's lawyer is Edmond Bloch.

I Tatti, Settignano, Florence. - Is very grateful for the pains taken by Trevelyan [regarding Morra's translation of G.M. Trevelyan's "British History in the Nineteenth Century, 1782-1901"]. Arrived at I Tatti yesterday to find all well; Mary in bed with a cold but cheerful; all as usual except for Trevelyan's absence, which Morra feels deeply. Asks one further question about George's book. Moravia is not related to 'De B.' so Mrs [Sylvia] Sprigge is right. Is very sorry to hear about D[onald] Tovey [his illness].

28, Rue de la Tourelle, Boulogne sur Seine. - The money that Trevelyan has so kindly sent will enable Suhrawardy to come over to England. Has received some news from India which may develop into something good; will tell Trevelyan about it when they see each other. Is delaying his departure in order to travel with an uncle who is a member of the Indian branch of the Simon Commission [Abdullah al-Mamun al-Suhrawardy]. Cannot accept the Trevelyan's kind offer of hospitality, as he will need to be at the British Library every day, but would be happy to visit whenever is convenient; hopes to spend two months in England. Wonders whether he could get a job with the Simon Commission, and will ask Sir Sankaran Nair: this would give him enough money to stay in England. Will stay with the same friends as last year. Madame Germanova sends her regards. Met [Cyril] Connolly by chance; found him 'nice but very volatile'.
