In Jean Macaulay's hand.

[Printed at top: George Cukor] - Forwards something by Dan Sullivan, not sure what he is getting at; [Mike?] Medavoy told him of his talk with him, hopes Ray Stark will be effectual; poor Snell [?].

Peterborough Deanery. Delighted by H M Butler's winning the English poetry prize, instructions how to read his piece.

Saw article on front page of Daily Telegraph about 'Princesses' first tube journey'; would like Sraffa to read it and cut it out if he can; 'It's incredible!'.

With note by Bernard Babington Smith, 15 Jan 1976.

Letter declining invitation to the 1905 Apostles' dinner.

[The British Hospital, Wimereux.]—Was disappointed not to receive a letter from him today. She spent the afternoon with Frances, who thinks her plan [to marry Montagu] excellent. Hopes he will enjoy himself at the Wharf.

(Misdated 30th.)

Covenham Rectory, Louth. - Originally enclosing impressions of some gems [no longer present].

John Mills and Mary Hayley Bell, Her Majesty's Theatre - A self-described fan letter, reminding him she is Juliet Mills' mother, and went to see 'Equus' ('Marvellous') with Burt Lancaster, John couldn't see it as he's in 'Good Companions'; 'how far you've come from "Five Finger Exercise"'.

Thanks Sidgwick for the cheque for £70. Announces that he shall be in Cambridge in the beginning of July and will send him an account of what has been paid to contributors up to date. Refers to a recent club discussion in which Sidgwick spoke about the '"felicitous dynamics" of those who have been influenced by Herbert', and 'the operation of masses and systems of ideas, which are not discernible in consciousness' as '"mere mythology"'. Sympathises with his attitude, but is convinced 'that there are certain facts of our mental life which it is difficult [to] formulate' otherwise than in terms of what Sidgwick calls 'fictitious dynamics'. Asks Sidgwick when an object arouses in him a sense of its significance through its preformed association, how is one to describe the mode of operation of these associations.

Horninghold, Uppingham, Rutland. Dated 20 March, 1913? - Is happy to hear he is working on Addison, hopes he will write a preface similar to the one in the Cowper.

Lansdowne House 7, Holland Park - Thanks him for the sympathy letter on the death of Madame Rose.

Pen Rose, Berkhamsted. - Glad there is a duplicate [of the typescript of Bessie's translation of Robert Fruin's "The Siege and Relief of Leyden in 1574"]; will keep the copy he has and bring it to Northumberland. Is 'most enthusiastic' about it; [John] Motley does not seem to have known about 'the internal situation at politics inside Leyden', and the 'two accounts supplement each other splendidly'. [Pieter] Geyl has sent George his notes; thinks them 'very good, but incomplete'; has sent them back with a few small suggestions. Will write the preface after having seen Bessie at the end of August and Geyl at the end of September.

Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana - Sends a subscription for the bibliography [not signed in manuscript].

40 Well Walk, Hampstead, N.W. - Should have written before to thank Bob for sending "The New Parsifal": has read it twice with 'great pleasure'', and could 'only find fault in detail'; though it is not as interesting as "Sisyphus" for the 'general public', it has great appeal for 'all aesthetes & intellectuals' who are most likely to read it. Lists a few criticisms, and passages which he particularly enjoys. Thinks Bob 'treat[s] Masefield more unfairly than Longfellow and Tennyson', and does not make as clear a point against him and Longfellow as he does against Tennyson. Is 'rather disappointed' with "New Numbers": thinks [Lascelles] Abercrombie's piece 'mannered in the bad sense' as well as 'allegorical [sic] in the bad sense'. Asks if Bob can 'coin' a word for him meaning 'of all women... or the womancratic... or the slave of all women'. Hopes that Julian is better and that Bob and Bessie are well.

The Shiffolds, Holmbury St Mary, Dorking. - Bessie and Paul are both very well: Bessie was pleased to get his mother's letter this morning - she is 'allowed to read all letters that come' - and is 'looking forward to writing herself'. The doctor called today, is quite satisfied, and will not call tomorrow. The frost has gone and they have 'stormy warmer weather'.

The V[aughan] Williamses at High Ashes are 'very kind', and ask him to lunch: went on Sunday, and will go tomorrow 'for the Xmas dinner'. Has had a nice letter from C[harles] and Molly [16/165]. Is 'rather tired', so she must not mind him not writing more. Sends love from all the family.

Postmarked Egham. - Has arrived 'at a rather pathetic reading' of Minos's 'So be it' lines [in Act I of "The Bride of Dionysus"]; has blocked out the Nereids in 'skeleton score' which will take about a week to fill in; would like to miss a line out of Minos's last speech [in that Act].

Cambridge - recovered from illness, [James] Spedding failed [Fellowship examination], College tutors, [Apostles] "grievously thinned", [John] Sterling's son may be apostolic, Spedding taking drawing lessons, [Richard Chenevix] Trench has preached in W. B. Donne's area, death of Arthur Hallam, Tennyson depressed, left some poems with him, George Farish "professes to read law and practices ... the smoking of cigars", Christopher Wordsworth full of modern Greek literature
