16 Hart Street, Bloomsbury - Further to the three terms WW coined for CL's new tertiary periods, he needs two more to replace 'Primary' - 'because 'primary' implies a theory now universally recognised to be false'. The other term is ''stratific primary' as to granite and its kindred unstratified rocks I mean to call the plutonic'.

Ashmansworth, nr Newbury, Berks. - Trevelyan sent him a copy of his new volume ["Translations from Latin Poetry"] 'Weeks ago'; did not reply with thanks at one as he wanted to wait until he had time to read it properly. His 'poor' Latin has now 'faded away to a shadow', so the 'good Latinist' may miss the pleasure he gets from translations which 'also happen to be English poetry'. Found some 'old acquaintances', such as Catullus 101, and is 'delighted' that Trevelyan's predecessors in translating Catullus 5 ["Vivamus, mea Lesbia..." did not 'over-awe' him. Has Trevelyan's translations of the "Eclogues" and "Georgics", Theocritus, and 'so much else'. Adds a postscript saying it has not been such a pleasure to read [John] Masefield's new book, "On the Hill': 'Its [sic] almost embarrassing'.

Garden Corner, West Road, Cambridge. - Thanks Robert for his 'marks' [suggested corrections to "Sir George Otto Trevelyan: A Memoir"]. Originally enclosing a copy of some excerpts from their father's letters to Bob, asking for comments; intends to print them at the end of the memoir, before "Horace at Athens", if Bob does not object. Very glad that C.A. [Clifford Allen] is better; agrees with him that 'the PM [Ramsay MacDonald] is cutting the best and most dignified figure of the lot', though does not know wheter that will 'save our unfortunate country and world'; hope is necessary.

Wixenford, Eversley, Winchfield:- If all goes well, Bobbie will be 'sent to Reading on the 20th [of December] to join his brother [Charlie]' at the time she specifies. The 'strain' Bobbie recently suffered to his knee was 'fortunately a matter of no consequence' which only required a few days rest, caused when he 'kicked the ground in trying to kick the ball'; though it was 'very trying for the poor boy to miss playing in a match', there was no need for anxiety nor for a doctor to see him. Bobbie is 'quite well now' and doing 'as satisfactorily as possible' in both work and behaviour. He has 'taken a rather higher place' in his class in nearly all his examinations than he does in his 'weekly marks'. He has done well in Latin, not so well in Greek as he has not been studying it as long as some of the others in his class. Hugo joined the school at half term: he 'seems a very nice boy, delicate but with very good ability', though with 'no systematic training last far'; he seems to have settled down happily. His brother, 'a very nice fellow at Woolwich', has come to visit him, and will do so again.

Asks her to forgive his not answering her letter yesterday: this was due to a pleasant visit from "Mrs (Professor) Sellars'; he did not mean to 'sacrifice [his] duties to the school to [his] duties as a host' but his 'good intentions failed'.

Wallington, Cambo, Morpeth. - The photographs [of Julian] are 'delightful'. They have been very anxious about Mary [who has suffered a miscarriage]; Dr Williams stayed two nights 'as there was danger of Haemerrage [sic] and then things would not come away entirely', but she is recovering now; it is very unfortunate and she hopes Mary 'will be more careful another time'. Is sure Elizabeth is 'not running the risks she has done'; hopes she is well and can confirm her news [that she is pregnant]. Hugo Bell has been visiting, and has seen [Donald] Tovey recently, who was 'very full of the opera ["The Bride of Dionysus"]; glad Tovey is working hard on it. George plans to visit soon 'by way of a walk'. '[G]reatly excited about politics'; wishes the '[constitutional] crisis were over'. Asks if Margaret V[aughan] Williams would like to visit towards the end of Elizabeth's stay at Wallington.

Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - Thanks for Robert's letter; has studied his enclosures and now returns them; it [Florence Trevelyan's legacy to Robert] is obviously 'a matter of time, and patience, and confidence in advisers'; would advise getting some 'immediate advantage' if possible but expects he and Caroline would approve any resolution Robert and Elizabeth make when the case is clearer; agrees with Mr Withers that Robert should keep on good terms with Cacciola and act with him if possible; asks if Cacciola has the interest of the twenty thousand lire for his lifetime or whether it goes to Robert. Thinks their ship was the only one to cross [the Channel] without an accident in the 'horrible gale'; Caroline slept all day in her cabin and he 'rather enjoyed' sitting on deck. Glad to be at home again; sends love to Elizabeth and 'Fra Paolo' [Paul].

93, High Street, Knaphill, Woking. - Describes her visit from Donald's 'local doctor' [Dr Corbett], whom she describes as 'boorish and unprepossessing', to tell her that Donald was better as he had walked from his bed to his chair; could get no information from him about Donald's diet, and lying in bed is 'very harmful to him as it was to his father'. Told Corbett that Donald's doctor was 'a very distinguished Edinburgh physician [Robert Thin] whom she had asked to attend him, but Corbett replied that they had telegraphed to say he should not come as Donald was better; she herself pays Dr Thin's fees, and he says Lady Tovey hinders him in Edinburgh as she 'does not speak the truth'; told the Norwich doctor that she had no confidence in him. Regrets that John [Wellcome Tovey] is there when he should be with her, expects 'he is in love with the "Secretary"'. Has sent a 'Lebensgang [biography]' of Donald to Dr Bluth, especially the 'opinion of the two very able doctors at Bath about 9 years ago' who told her how anxious they were about him. Now must wait for Dr Bluth's conclusions; what he has written to her so far inclines her to think favourably of him. Will be 'a bore' for him to read all she has written, but it is better than having her 'talking excitedly at him'; hopes she may see him soon. Wonders what is wrong with Lady Tovey; her mother and aunt died of cancer; is 'sure she is very infectious'.

13a Hanover Terrace, Ladbroke Grove W.11. - Enjoyed a recent visit. Hopes she has been able to make up her mind about Bedales: thinks it more likely that Julian will be happy there than at Harrow. A note about typewriting problems. Has read Buxton's book about Russia ["A Russian Village"?] and found it a 'delightful' counter to the usual picture given of that country.

Had meant to ask whether they could lunch together, or whether Julian could visit the Shiffolds for a few days, but Bessie says he is away lecturing or teaching; hopes after that it can be arranged. Hopes he is 'in good or at least better health'. Things are 'better here': they are still managing without a 'house-servant'. but one is coming in about a week so Bessie is not worried. Will be sending his "Christmas-card of poems" [this year's "From the Shiffolds"] soon; there is 'nothing very new in it'. Hope Muntz's 'saga' about Harold and William the Conqueror ["The Golden Warrior"] is very successful; thinks this is deserved; has an extra copy which he could lend Julian if wanted. Lovely weather here 'above the fog'; must go out and try to write "Voices" - an essay, not a poem, he is afraid.

4, Rue Nungesser et Coli, Paris 16me. - Thanks Mrs Trevelyan for her 'dear, kind invitation'; would like to come as soon as she can, as she feels very tired and Andrusha [her son] looks 'pale and thin after his brilliant effort'; also she hopes to get some work with Pitoeff or as a 'figurante' [extra]. Is worried about getting visas, so perhaps Mr Trevelyan could get the authorities to help. Alexandre Petrevitch [her husband] is very glad she will get some rest and sends his thanks. Andrusha is looking forward very much to seeing England. He wants to be an engineer and would benefit from any practice, 'even elementary'; he is interested equally in work in a foundry or factory, and his ambition at the moment to be a low-paid pupil to a workman to learn the basics. His school is called Glarisegg, and is near Steckborn am Budensee in Switzerland. He would like to study in future at the Politechnicum in Zurich. Hopes they will see the Trevelyans soon, and Andrusha can explain everything himself.

Macmillan & Co., Ltd. - Is pleased they are postponing their trip for a pleasant reason, wonder what the new honour is; will be announcing the 'Fasti' in a new Catalogue of Classical Books; has an order for 70 copies of 'The Worship of Nature' from an Edinburgh bookseller.

19 Cranmer Road, Cambridge - Introduces.Robinson and Mattingly of the British Museum's Department of Coins and Medals, whose discoveries concern the cults of various divinities, including Diana Nemorensis.

Berlin - A letter introducing a young German clergyman, Immanuel Hengstenberg (son of Professor Hengstenberg at Berlin), who intends spending six months becoming acquainted with the religious and scientific state of England: 'I should feel very thankful if you would have the goodness to let him see the magnificent institutions of your university and to introduce him to your colleagues, who may give him the greatest interest. Especially I remember Rev. Carus [William Carus]'. BH would also enjoy a few hours with WW discussing public matters - 'though, indeed, they offer not at all a satisfactory aspect in this very moment. I fear that it is only the beginning for a period of war and destruction, by which neither the moral nor the intellectual state of Europe will gain. He, who first provoked this quarrel, has taken upon him an immense responsibility'.

Writes to say that he cannot come the following day due to his hayfever. States that he will probably 'leave town' for about a week - the second week in July - for the seaside, if he manages to shake it off entirely. Undertakes to write again when he knows where he shall be when she passes [London], so that she may write and tell him the exact time she will be there. States that he has decided not to go to Tawney, because of his hayfever. Reports that he has been spending most of his time seeing friends, and that there are more to see. Asks her to tell Arthur that a cousin of E.E. Bowen's - Reverend C. Bowen - will probably [be calling on him].
