Caius College, Cambridge. Dated Wednesday Night, 13 June, 1906? - Has read his 'Lectures on the Early History of the Kingship' and admires it.

16 Hart Street, Bloomsbury - CL would like WW to be at the anniversary on Friday [Anniversary of the Geological Society, 19 February 1836], he would like WW to propose the Astronomical Society and the health of either Airy [George Airy] or Baily [Francis Baily].

Two copies of an obituary [in "The Times"; see 1/122-123] containing tributes from Sir Michael Sadler and R. C. Trevelyan; a cutting with a tribute from Sir Walford Davies, mentioning Abercrombie's close work with musicians, his association with the Festivals of Music and Poetry held at Gregynog in Montgomeryshire, and the power of his poetic readings; obituary from an unidentified newspaper; notice in "The Times" about a memorial service for Abercrombie held in Merton College Chapel, Oxford; obituary from the "Manchester Guardian", 28 Oct 1938.

Printing House Square, The Times. Monday, 1 a.m. - Encloses a proof [now at FRAZ/21/4] of the Special Correspondent's message from Kiev [where the trial of Mendel Beilis was taking place] and tells Frazer he has used a quote from the 'Scapegoat' to clarify Frazer's position, and asks that he telegraph if he has anything to add.

Queens' College, Cambridge - Thanks him for his lecture before the Queens' Classical Society, and for the copy of 'The Worship of Nature', which will be of great use to his study of the sky-god.

The Mill House, Westcot, Dorking. - Discusses post times. The weather has been 'absolutely beastly' and he has a cold, which gave him a nose-bleed this morning. Took a day off yesterday and lunched with the Frys; [Roger] Fry is very busy, having had to give an extra lecture last week, so Bob conveys his advice on house decoration. Need good painters, as [George?] Moore had trouble when he was having his Cambridge rooms done, due to the 'stupidity of the workmen'. Gives his aunt Meg Price's address. Thinks he is becoming 'more romantic' about her; wishes he had been with her to 'caress... and explain away [his] last cruel letter' in which he thoughtlessly exaggerated his 'regret at [his] fading days of singleness' [9/119]. She will certainly not come between him and his friends, as she has 'quite enough of their own intellectual qualities to be their friend in the same way' he is. Has usually gone abroad alone and not allowed his 'sensations to be interfered with by those of others'; will probably enjoy going to Greece more with her than with 'people like Daniel and Mayor'. Attempts to explain his feelings in detail. Will be able to talk freely to his friends after his marriage, though 'it is true that men do talk more obscenely, and more blasphemously, than they ever quite dare to talk before women' and he thinks that this difference is right. Should not have written 'so carelessly' and caused her pain. Has written to her uncle saying he and she should fix the date. Crompton [Llewelyn] Davies came for tea last Sunday; he is probably going to the Lizard at Easter; he said his brother [Arthur?] and his wife went to Land's End for his honeymoon which was 'very satisfactory', but that Savernake near Salisbury plain was the 'best place conceivable', with 'every kind of scenery' only an hour from London. He says it has a good inn; Bob may look on his way to Cornwall. Seatoller [in Borrowdale] is very nice too, but much further away. Has not yet heard from Daniel how Sanger is; will tell Bessie [about Sanger's unhappy love affair] when he sees her; she guessed correctly that the woman was Dora. He and Fry still think it would have been best for them to marry, but that now seems unlikely; her treatment of him is 'not through heartlessness exactly... but owing to circumstances, and also to her rather unusual temperament'. Has done some work, and has been re-reading Flaubert's letters; feels more in sympathy with him than any other modern writer. His mother says Charles and George are thinking of giving Bessie a 'very pretty sort of box to keep music in'; wishes they would give them the flying trunk or carpet Bessie mentioned. They will have to content themselves with meeting in dreams, though it seems [Empedocle] Gaglio has a dream-carpet which will take him into Bessie's brain; still, he does not have a lock of her hair so Bob has a start.

Palace Hotel, Rome. - Sorry to hear about the fall of the cedar and the little dog's death; Elizabeth must be sad. Glad about Paul; had never noticed how much 'gymnastics' a year old child does pulling itself onto its feet until Geordie was around them this autumn. They have been out to the Appian Way to lunch, and spent a morning going over the grounds of the Villa Mills on the Palatine which is to be pulled down for excavations. Always thinks of Robert at the Farnese casino on the Clivus Victoriae, where he had the 'altercation with the friend of the custode'. Has read [Cicero's] Philippics, inspired by Ferrero, and has 'rarely enjoyed a book more'; also delighting in reading Terence. Glad to hear what [James Stoddart?] Bain told Robert; there are beginning to be signs that the book [Volume III of "The American Revolution"] is a success and is doing well in America, though it came out in the midst of an unprecedented 'financial tornado'. Their hotel is quite full of 'very quiet, respectable Americans', most of whom are ladies.

27 Rossetti Mansions, Chelsea SW3 - Congratulates Frazer, has a happier memory of his face than the likenesses in the papers.

110 Banbury Road, Oxford.—His reading of Cicero’s Tusculanarum Quaestiones prompted him to write the enclosed parallel. Asks Smith to help him publish it in a newspaper anonymously. If he submitted it himself he thinks it would be probably be lost or rejected, like his recent letter to The Times about the demolition of buildings in Beaumont Street [Oxford].

Ashmansworth, nr Newbury, Berks. - Is 'indebted' to Trevelyan again for 'one of the few Christmas "missiles" that will be kept & treasured' [this year's "From the Shiffolds"], both for the new work and for 'such an old friend as the Lowes Dickinson poem', which he has admired since it came out in, he thinks, the "New Statesman". Approves it being 'kept in circulation' while the collected poems are out of print; hopes that they will come out again soon; there is almost enough new work from the last ten years for another volume. Sends good wishes for 'much work in 1949'.

Postmarked Weybridge; forwarded to Trevelyan at the National Liberal Club, Whitehall Place, S.W.1. - Jokes about the inaccuracies of the model of Salisbury Cathedral on the postcard. Will be at West Hackhurst for a week from tomorrow, and wonders if Trevelyan might be able to visit. Sends love to J[ulian]. A note from Elizabeth Trevelyan suggests her husband should come home via Gomshall and see Forster on the way: he should also try to persuade him to visit.

Postmarked Staines. - Does not want to omit Minos's reference to the treaty [in Act I of "The Bride of Dionysus"], as he should lose his temper with 'the utmost paraphernalia of reasonableness'; would like to lose a few words and gives his preferred reading. Vaguely remembers a line Trevelyan was doubtful about; does not mind it but will accept any alternative which is not rhythmically too difficult.

Includes notes on work of H Samelson.

Buckingham Palace. Thanks J R M Butler for giving him a copy of 'Cantabrigia Illustrata' as a wedding present.
