Godesberg a/ Rh[ein]. - Sorry that Bessie has not heard from her and so knows nothing about Donald [Tovey]'s plans, but she herself tends to 'collapse so very much once... out of the shafts now-a-days', and Donald has been very unwell, with a high pulse. As he was recovering and planning to be in Ireland, [Joseph] Joachim and 'the exiled Royal family of Hanover, of all things' urgently wished him to spend a week with them, which he greatly enjoyed. They go to Lord Monteagle's in Ireland now; asks whether Donald could come to the Trevelyans at the end of next week. She herself would also love to spend a couple of nights there.

Boveney, near Windsor. - Will be very pleased to come and give her a clavichord lesson next Thursday if that day is convenient; is also writing to Helen Fry. Would go to Kingston on Thursday morning, give her two lessons there, then come to the Trevelyans' house for an evening lesson and accept the 'very kind invitation' to stay the night before giving Mrs Fry her lesson the next morning. Her lessons are usually six guineas when students come to her house; there will be a difference given railway expenses, but she expects not too great if the Frys pay half; expects that if she charges 7 guineas for twelve lessons Mrs Trevelyan will 'make very rapid progress' since she is so 'clever'. Asks her to excuse the poor English; it would be better if she were 'not in a great hurry'. Very glad she liked the walnuts; asks if she may bring a pot of her plum jam on Thursday, which she has made fifty-eight pounds of.

Printed copy of the Zaharoff Lecture: Oxford, At the Clarendon Press, 1933.

First page proof and second page proof of the introduction, corrected in J. G. Frazer's hand, dated 4-7 May 1931 of the Loeb Classical Library edition of 'Ovid's Fasti'.

3 Rue du Boccador (VIIIe) - Sends new year's greetings, thanks her for 'le F.L.A.T.' ["Folklore dans l'Ancien Testament"?] Suggests she send a copy to l'Académie des Inscriptions; Salomon Reinach gave a speech at the Société Ernest Renan about early Christianity and a letter of Emperor Claude to the Alexandrians, which had been recently discovered on papyrus in Egypt; is planning to go to Egypt, Palestine, and Syria next month.

(See the general note on this file.)

Has passed on his proposal to publish the lesser works of J H Monk to Deighton Bell

(Copy of A2/8/4, cut from a larger document.)

Has just had an interview with the King, and has done his best to allay his anxiety at reports that action is being taken against the innocent dupes of the non-co-operators in India rather than the ringleaders, particularly Gandhi. He also reassured him with regard to the Prince of Wales’s safety. Asks whether there is any truth in the report that, when no students attended the degree ceremony attended by the prince at Benares, high school boys were brought in to fill the vacant places. The King urged that the prince should omit Lahore from his tour.

Cheque for £300, drawn on Parr’s Bank, Head Office Branch.

Encloses proposals for amendments to the Royal Commission Bill.

"Hochried", Murnau/Staffelsee - Asks if she will ask her friend Mr Peake if he will find out why the 'Manchester Guardian' ignores the Loeb Classical Library; points out that the 'Manchester Guardian Weekly' is quite widely read on the Continent; reads that the Macmillan 'Fasti' will have illustrations, this is a novel approach but is sure this will add charm and value.

Royal University Library, Uppsala - Printed form completed in manuscript, thanking them for the book 'Heures du Loisir'.

Wolverhampton Art and Industrial Exhibition, 1902, Gresham Chambers, Lichfield Street, Wolverhampton. - Is sorry not to have replied and sent the Gorki sooner: has been 'on a tramp through the blessed county of Salop' and has felt so proud of being Shropshire born that he hasn't felt up to writing. Is sending "Burnt Njal", which he thinks the best of the Sagas; will send the others later on. Is returning Cervantes's "Exemplary Tales" and sends the Buccaneer book [by Burney] which is very interesting, but not as charming as Esquemeling [Exquemelin]. Thanks Trevelyan for the kind offer of books: has most of Pater and is not very keen on Flaubert; asks if he can borrow any book by Verlaine, or Mallarme's prose translation of Poe, anything by de l'Isle-Adam except "Axël", any 'classic history' on Pompey's suppression of the pirates or the Roman occupation of Britain. Asks if Trevelyan has Defoe's "Roxana" or Doddington's "Memoirs", Grimm's letters, Berlioz's Memoirs, Renan's 'Celtic essays' ["The poetry of the Celtic races"] or any of the Brendan's Voyages.

Northlands, Englefield Green, Surrey. - Thanks Trevelyan for the ensemble: thinks that it can be made very fine, and not resemble the 'game of shouting proverbs' which he describes. Thinks Trevelyan has the characters very distinct, but he cannot adopt the third reading of Phaedra's part and hopes Trevelyan does not prefer it, as certain phrases will sound prosaic. Hopes his proposals for the third act [see 7/8] are not too upsetting.
