19 Cranmer Road, Cambridge - Thanks him for his congratulatory note [on becoming the first holder of the Laurence Chair of Classical Archaeology], which means a drop in income but more leisure for research; suffered acute rheumatism with temporary facial paralysis in the summer, had to work less last term but is recovered; has made progress on 'Zeus'; mentioned to Housman Frazer's praise of "Manilius", which pleased him; praises Frazer's gift of combining minute attention to detail with a sense of breadth and grandeur'; praises the 'Fasti'. Accompanied by the envelope.
