Typed copy. Mena Camp, Cairo. To go to Zeitoum for a machine gun course, men of the Scottish Horse popular as they can take on the Australians in a free fight, the part of the Scottish Horse in the evacuation of Gallipoli, sight-seeing trip to Cairo.

143 Boulevard Raspail - Has had her letter for 48 hours, and does not hide that the tone gave him pain; defends himself that he has worked hard and is not responsible for the delays in printing [the French translation of the third edition of 'The Golden Bough']; their relationship with Geuthner is better now due to his efforts; if several volumes are to be published at once he cannot take on such a large task.

PE Thomas 4229, D. Co[mpan]y, Artists Rifles, Hut 14, Hare Hall Camp, Romford. - It was his own fault; was 'amusing to be invisible like that', but would have 'broken through' if he did not dislike crowds, even of friends, so much. Hopes they 'really are to meet in print' [in "An Annual of New Poetry"]. His chances of showing his own work to strangers are 'so very rare' that he will be sorry if the arrangement with Constables is over, but agrees that they should not 'give away [their] rights' to please the publishers; asks if there is nobody else who might like the book. Could not leave in time on Saturday to see Gordon [Bottomley?]; perhaps he might pass through London on Saturday next and see him then; if Gordon 'could stand that performance [of his play "King Lear's Wife" he could stand anything'; 'Lady [Maud] Tree should have died at the beginning, not at the end... The effort to hear her spoilt any other impression', and the daughter [Goneril, played by Viola Tree] 'was too conscious of her resemblance to Artemis'. Frost has 'mentioned the "Annual" lately'; he obviously wanted to contribute but perhaps has not been able to decide what to send; he has been 'very busy, too, with lecturing & his farm'. Thomas has reminded him, and is sure he will send Trevelyan something if he can.

Wallington, Cambo, Morpeth. - Glad that Mrs Enticknap got back safely; wanted her to stay till today but she did not want to travel without an escort; glad she was 'satisfied with Gussie'. Will send some fruit tomorrow and hopes it arrives in good condition; it worked for Janet, but the post is quicker there. Mary is recovering [after her miscarriage], but must stay in bed until the end of the week; she is 'very cheerful, & wants company', so it is lucky a cousin has come to stay, as Caroline found it very tiring visiting her every day. George came for three days; he is 'fairly cheerful now, but looks sadly older, & has times of silence and depression [following the death of his son Theo]'; was meeting Janet at Ellargreen [?]. Delighted to hear that Elizabeth's 'news [that she is pregnant]' is true; will be 'so good for Julian'. Knows she is always careful; Mary was 'very unwise' and it is kindest not to say too much about it. Sorry to hear that Mrs Catt still doubts she is strong enough to come as a nurse. Excited and uneasy about politics; it is a 'very serious crisis'. Hopes Mr [Donald] Tovey will soon be settled and that they have a good time with him. Going to a garden party at Hallington today. Loves the little photograph of Julian.

Cairndhu, Helensburgh, N.B. - Congratulates Frazer on the award of the Order of Merit: 'No man rejoices at it more than do I, your old friend & school-fellow'.

Engraving by W[illiam] I[nnes] Mosses, with title 'Mr G. O. Trevelyan, M. P., Chief Secretary for Ireland'. Initials, D.L.N. [?] with date 11/5/82.

Envelope addressed by G. O. Trevelyan (his name is at the bottom left) to Henry Wiggin; 'House of Commons' written first then crossed out and 23 Eaton Place, SW added. 'Donor Mr. G. Pritchard' is written in ink below the envelope on the scrapbook page; 'or Barker' then added in pencil below that'.

The Shiffolds, Holmbury St Mary, Dorking. - They are having a 'very pleasant Christmas'; everyone is well. His father's 'kind letter' to E[lizabeth: 10/69] came this morning, and 'gave her much pleasure'. The baby seems to 'thrive'. Since it is Christmas today, Bessie 'had him dressed in an old Dutch dress, made 70 years ago, in which he looks very Dutch and pretty'.

Is going out to dinner tonight to High Ashes for the V[aughan] Williams' Christmas dinner; does not mind leaving Bessie as she is 'really so well'. She sends her love, says she 'thinks a great deal' about Caroline, and is much enjoying getting letters from everyone. Paul got his 'first letter this morning in the shape of a Christmas card from Pauline and Georgdie' [Charles and Molly's children].

Postmarked Weybridge. - Makes a pun about the Trevelyans' card being the 'thirty nineth [sic] article' received by the Forsters. Will write again from West Hackhurst to arrange a meeting.

Kings Coll. Camb. - Did not see how many votes Bertie [Russell] got [in the General Election of 15 Nov, where he stood for Labour in Chelsea] but he supposes not many; relates an anecdote told to him by Moorsom, who was at the announcement of the results. Phil Price [M. Philips Price?] did not get in, but he finds it amusing a communist got such support in an English county. Is consoled by the fact that the leading members of the UDC [Union of Democratic Control] have been returned, as has Jem Butler. The political opinions of his college bedmaker, who votes Tory. Brief discussion of [Woolf's] "Jacob's Room". Moorsome [sic] is attending psychology lectures.

Postmarked Englefield Green. - Now Ariadne is no longer addressing the Athenians, her lines about Daedalus [in Act II of "The Bride of Dionysus"] read awkwardly; suggests a change of pronoun; also, Theseus must not seem to ignore Daedalus's help when he asks Ariadne how she will find him in the Labyrinth.

Private - The Tithe Commission is proceeding well - 'the follies of the Parliamentary Committee men hurt none but themselves - the majority of them seem to have found this out and one or two of the apparent leaders have been to me privately to disavow their supposed claims and plans and have talked so reasonably that if they can only manage one or two foolish men and perhaps as many deliberate knaves we may I think probably agree and legislate this session - their sticking point was the periodical revaluations we insisted on and some of the more prominent and violent are disposed to yield this (seeing we not to be moved) they are disposed too to drop any combined opposition to the resumption of tithe - rent charges - (1/3 of the whole revenue) and there is a vista opening on a fair prospect enough'. The whole process has been delayed as the Commission has to listen to the witnesses the Committee have sent who 'have been cutting their throats and I think they know it'. RJ reckons that the new system will eventually raise a revenue of more than a million pounds from one that currently only produces 400,000 pounds. An accountant called Grey is the Committee's advisor - 'he is a professed agitator obviously for selfish purposes and will not keep much hold on them'. RJ means 'to help the avenging deity a little if I have ever time but much more do I hope to give them some more useful truths to mumble over. God bless you'.
