Dingle Cottage, Ledbury. - Today received 'the cleverly executed miniature which certainly does recall one expression of that most dear countenance [her late husband Eliot Warburton]'. Did not think 'so good a likeness could be produced'. Recognises the added interest the portrait has 'coming to me from the hands of his two best friends'; gratefully accepts the gift 'in memory of an affection which followed my husband through life' and as evidence of continued friendliness towards herself. Is going to stay with her brother-in-law George Warburton and his wife when they are settled in Kent, and will pass through London, but is unsure whether she will see Milnes there, but will certainly 'obey the summons whenever you tell me again "to come and see you in Yorkshire"'. Asks to be remembered to Milnes' wife; will not 'forget her Orphans but all my people will belong to the wrong Asylum'.

Trinity Lodge, Cambridge - Her husband has asked her to report on the College Council discussions of the Wyse Fund: the Statutes do not allow a double Fellowship being allocated, and no funds allowed for Beneficent purposes may be voted to a Fellow; she does hope 'that a successful plan will quietly be carried out by the user of The Wyse fund'.

10, Wood Lane, Highgate, London, N.6. - On Christmas Day received a number of letters from Cambridge field workers, detailing disintegration of ancient social order in Nepal, hope of contact with the Lawa in Siam, and the importance of the divine king in Africa; has received the Frazer lectures volume and admires it: he says that caustic commentators declared the anthropologists did not understand Rivet's French but thought it beautiful, and the French students understood his French and thought his anthropology wonderful, whereas he enjoyed both.

Junior U[nited] S[ervices] Club - London. - There is still 'reasonable ground of hope' [that his brother Eliot Warburton survived the sinking of of the Amazon in the Bay of Biscay on 4 Jan. 1852]; knows his brother 'was completely dressed on the deck, calm and collected', having heard from Mr [Frederick] Glennie, a passenger already rescued who knew him well. His brother's wife and their sister are here at 23 Savile Row, and 'full of hope, the suspence [sic], however, is little less dreadful than the last certainty'. Knows Milnes will sympathize with them in 'the time of bitter trial'.

Oxford. - Has 'sought vainly' among his brother Eliot's possessions for something he might send as a memorial of him to Milnes, 'but the very few personal matters he possessed perished with him in the Amazon'. Asks if Milnes will accept something accompanied by this letter; had 'two or three to be made for his friends, whom I knew he held to his heart most deeply; had I sent them in the order he would have wished, I know you should have had it before anybody else, but I was anxious to make sure of your being in town'.

FRAZ/32/118-120 · Stuk · May-June 1936
Part of Papers of Sir James Frazer

54 Cours Napoléon, Ajaccio, Corse - In the letter of 18 May, he is worried about her silence after she announced her trip to Switzerland; is putting out a new survey for the Encyclopédia Française for Varagnac; their questionnaires have attracted the notice of ethologists and folklorists; he is not making as much progress in his map work as he could like; Varagnac asked for news and told him of the admiration of all his friends for 'Fear [of the Dead]' III. In the letter of 31 May, he says he will quote from the preface to 'Fear' III, to encourage his volunteers to embrace errors and not doubt their abilities, as his humility should be an example; his plans to go to the country are delayed; Martine [Giamarchi, his great niece] is very happy to have the picture magazine. In the letter of 9 June, he thanks her for her card pointing out that it has been 57 years since the composition of 'Plato’s Ideal' in 1879, and used the preface to 'Crainte' in speaking to his Normaliennes who are working on the ethnological and folklore surveys; he has written to Geuthner; there are two translations of Condorcet, Chouville and Mme de Pange.

Part of Papers of Sir James Frazer

54 Cours Napoléon, Ajaccio, Corse - He is pleased things are going well for her; is working with maps of Corsica, and some have Dutch text he cannot read (Jan. 19); he thanks her for various things she has sent in the post: the 'Times', with its coverage of Edward VIII (Jan. 28), an issue of 'Punch', with an image [?] of Canon [Alexander] Nairne at Windsor (3 Feb.) and pictures for Martine [Giamarchi]. He has sent a parcel of responses to the questionnaire to Varagnac; is happy they had a good evening with Wickham Steed (16 Feb.).

FRAZ/32/107-109 · Stuk · Oct.-Nov. 1935
Part of Papers of Sir James Frazer

54 Cours Napoléon, Ajaccio, Corse - In the letter of 30 October, he is resigned to the fact that they will find a collaborator for Sir James and have their own requirements; refers to the reception of Lilly Frazer’s books at the local school; writes of Madeleine, recovering from typhoid fever, and her brother, who has just received a doctorate in law. In the letter of 29 Nov. he has agreed to organise the surveys for Varagnac for the Encyclopedie Françoise. In the letter of 12 Nov., he is glad to hear they will be at their club until the end of the year; thinks the translation by Madame Roth is ingenious, but it is hard to match the quality of Sir James’ verse. The achievement of 'The Fear of the Dead' is difficult if one cannot reread the documentation and though Frazer has a good memory he should have someone help who can find what he needs and read it to him. All three letters contain news of Martine [Giamarchi, a great niece].
