James Watt Steamship - JDF is now on his way to Paris. He is planning a book on mechanics and would like WW to bear this in mind, and perhaps talk about it with him after the meeting [BAAS meeting in Edinburgh] in June.

Der Botschafter der Bundesrepublik Deutschland, Baron Hermann von Richthofen - Informs him he has been awarded the Shakespeare Prize for 1989 by the Anglo-German Board of the F.V.S. Foundation in Hamburg, suggests a dinner in his honour at the embassy.

Everett, Scholar 1863, (Harvard), 2nd Class Class., Summer opt.'; 'Rev. J. B.

Eton College - Thanks WW for his congratulations, but ECH 'was quite right in not coming to Kings'. Richard Okes is a more suitable person while 'Eton is, I think, better suited to me'.

WW understands that HJR must be working at his inscriptions, and may be about to publish some account of them ['Inscriptiones Graecae Vetustissianne', 1825]: 'Have you had time to embody any of your speculations and the results which they have suggested, or is it merely to be something in the way of materials for the few who have similar pursuits and sufficient industry, to work from, without the trouble of turning on several books? Is there any chance of getting at anything certain in the early history of the Greek, or have we drifted down the stream too far to be able to examine its source?'. WW is likely to give up philology for mathematics - especially since he has just accepted the office of mathematical lecturer. Robert Woodhouse has published a book on physical astronomy: 'It is like his other books...executed in no very neat manner but still good metal - so that at worst it may be melted down and coined over again. It will I have no doubt make its way into the Senate House - especially as we have Gwatkin [Richard Gwatkin] & Peacock [George Peacock] as moderators'. [Alexander] D'Arbly 'talks of writing something on the application of analysis to curves &c'. WW was surprised to find D'Arblay had taken his orders. 'If I go on here I shall I have no doubt become a worthy successor to James Wood'.

28 Grange Road, Barnes, S.W.13. - Had hoped to trouble her no further with correspondence [about the Frazer Lectures volume], but her letter and a letter he received from Marett [about dropping his lecture from the volume due to content about Elliot Smith] have changed that; will take no further steps until he hears from her; encloses the letter he received from Marett and his response [FRAZ/17/23].

Department of Oriental Antiquities and of Ethnography, British Museum - Thanks her for the copies of the prospectus for the 'Anthologia Anthropologica', will see they are distributed to the members of the Royal Anthropological Institute Council; will need several hundred if they are to be sent to subscribers of 'Man'; he does not doubt Sir James' judgment in making extracts, but the Council must carefully consider publications it approves; takes her point about international students not having access to books readily accessible in England; thanks her for her kind messages to his parents.

Carbon typescript.

Drafts of 'The Origin of Totemism', the Preface to 'Sir Roger de Coverley', 'On the Science of Man', the Introduction to Apollodorus, 'Reply to an Address' [on the occasion of the foundation of the lectureship in Frazer’s honour]; with notes on the legends of the origin of fire-making, Apollodorus, on 'London Life in Addison’s Time', the belief in immortality, and anthropological notes on the people of Hawaii, Samoa, Tahiti, Andaman Islands, and the Marquesas. With 7 items laid in loose, 6 of them pages torn from the notebook, and one a list of books for Sir James Frazer.

Corrie, Fruids Park, Annan, Dumfriesshire - Was at Larchfield with him, has been reading 'Memories of Youth' in 'Sir Roger de Coverly' with enjoyment; sends a book of his verses.

British Museum, W.C. - Thanks Bob for his list of errata; has adopted all the suggestions. Agrees with Bob's observation in his letter that ''Lighter, because of thee, than fluff or feather' [in "Poverty", by Yang Hsiung] is 'awkward', but could not find a 'satisfactory way out'. Very kind of Bob to take so much trouble, this is 'positively the last time' he will bother him like this, as he does not think 'there are any more Chinese poems to translate'. Is going away for a month. Goldie [Lowes Dickinson] is staying with Arthur's mother the last weekend in July and he will try to be there; has not seen Goldie for 'ages'. [cf perhaps 2/142]

Seatoller. - Expects Bob is enjoying himself abroad. Is having a good time at Seatoller with [Maurice?] Amos, [Ralph] Wedgwood and [George] Moore; Vaughan Williams left a few days ago; he and Wedgwood 'bathe in Cambridge pool every morning'; Amos and Wedgwood work hard for their triposes, while Moore chiefly reads "Jane Eyre" and other novels, and George 'all sorts of jolly books', none for his tripos. They are all getting on well, even better than at Stye since there is not the 'slight distance between Moore and Wedgwood'. They go up the mountains in the afternoon; he and Moore, as 'the Wordsworthians of the party' went over to Grasmere and Rydal; describes Dove Cottage, de Quincey's extension to it, and S.T.C. [Samuel Taylor Coleridge]'s house. Declares that there were 'men in England then', also naming Scott, Shelley, Byron and Keats. George got his scholarship; does not seem fair that Wedgwood has not, while they give one to someone like Charlie Buxton 'of very ordinary ability' in their first year; thinks this is 'bolstering up classics'. It is however a sign that the college is doing 'their duty to history' that there is now an entrance scholarship for it. Is glad at a personal level that Buxton has a scholarship: he and George will have plenty of money to go abroad in the long vacation now. Elliott has not got a scholarship, but is spoken of as 'certain' next year. Had a nice letter from Bowen; German measles is active in [Grove] house. Asks Bob to write to him about the novel if he needs someone to discuss it with: he knows the plan and beginning, and will keep it secret. Wedgwood is a really good rock climber. Notes in postscript that he will be seeing Moore's brother [Thomas] in London again next week, so Bob should write there.

Englefield Green, Surrey. - Addresses the letter to 'Dearest Bessie' for the first time. Encourages both Trevelyans to come and stay the night on Wednesday evening; they are 'crammed' on Thursday. A pencil note on the back reads 'Hoping for you tonight however late'.

As from Worcester College, Oxford; on headed notepaper for The Manor House, Garsington, Oxford. - Has considered Bob's suggestions [regarding the text of Aeschylus's "Oresteia", which Bob has translated and Sheppard is planning a production of]: explains which lines he is prepared to keep and which he will continue to cut; it is a 'great concession to keep so much'. His new thoughts on the "Eumenides" chorus, since [Armstrong] Gibbs says he can do better musically with the 'shortened chorus'. Likes Bob's version of "Cho[ephoroe]" 180. Bowes and Bowes will publish from the Greek Play Committee, with printing at the University Press; it will cost five shillings and 1350 copies need to be sold to recoup expenses; this does not seem likely, but it should 'interest a lot of people'. Proofs should come soon; is going to Brittany at the end of the week, but supposes he will receive them safely there; suggests having proofs sent to both Bob and Sheppard, and for Bob to send on his copy with 'remarks and corrections', with Sheppard responsible for the Greek text. Gibb's music only needs 'exact correspondence' for some choral passages; some differences between the published and acting may be necessary here, but this can be arranged in consultation in October. They must aim to publish in November, with advanced proof copies in October.

Wallington, Cambo, Northumberland. - Not surprised that the Apostles are considering whether they should 'take notice of JECW' [James Edward Cowell Weldon, who had cancelled the annual dinner with little warning], but expects there is 'something to be said on both sides'. Is interested in both [Crompton and Theodore Llewelyn] Davies, and hopes they will both get fellowships next year; supposes postponement is 'not as bad a thing' as it was in his time. Glad that George is doing so well. Is rather busy; has never seen less game around the lower estate, but does well without it.
