City Chambers, Glasgow - Thanks her for the Downie biography; forwards a gift of £20.

British Broadcasting Corporation, Broadcasting House, London, W.1. - Very kind of Trevelyan to write: it was a 'great pleasure' to meet him; admired his script and delivery very much. Perhaps they will meet again for another programme. Has heard 'so many appreciative remarks about the Catullus broadcast'.

Is 'delighted to hear' of Bessie's improvement; couldn't make out from Bob whether it was really convenient for him to visit tomorrow, so thought it safer to postpone. Cannot manage Friday, Bob's suggestion as an alternative, as he will not be back from London; looks forward to seeing her early next week. Postscript saying that he is 'Broadcasting' on Thursday at 6.20.
Curzon and Chamberlain agree to the draft telegram [see A3/10/9]. Asks for his authority to send it without further discussion in Cabinet.

war made it impossible to get to Salamis
Ministère des Affaires Étrangères, Bruxelles - Printed form completed in typescript announcing the decoration of Commandeur de l'Ordre de Léopold.
L'Ile aux Moines - Thanks her for the books, did not know about Frazer's eyes; will arrive in England on 23 Oct., is going to write to Professor [Félix?] Boillot, as she advised; will not be able to translate 'Aftermath', as he is working on something else; has sent her 'La Promenade Egyptienne' which was published two years ago.
Stonefall Hall, Harrogate. - Is sorry that he will be just too late to catch her at Wallington, and that he cannot visit since he has too much to do before the start of term; has also promised to go to his sister's in January. Is very glad that Bob likes India so much, but also that he is feeling a little homesick.
12 Pembroke Gardens, Kensington, W. - Trevelyan must not pay her the last 20 pounds until the work [her German translation of "The Bride of Dionysus"] is quite finished. Would be glad to work on it together again next year. Hopes Trevelyan found improvement at Northlands [Sophie Weisse's school]; in great troubles, people should 'sink all their little home-made ones'. Expects [Donald] Tovey will be glad to start at Edinburgh. Wonders whether the Northlands pupils will return: schools not seeing girls since people are poorer because of the war. Mrs Sickert and Robert still ill in bed; both 'very plucky and... dears to look after'. Wonders whether 'this fearful struggle of the Armies can last much longer'; the Germans in particular must be reaching the limits of endurance.
