Stuk 12 - Letter from R. Pettazzoni to Lady Frazer

1 item

R. Università di Roma, Scuola di Studi Storico Religiosi - Her letter was slow to get to him; he would happily have changed things to facilitate M. van Gennep's trip, but it is too late now, as bureaucracy is slow; van Gennep is returning directly to Italy to organise a Congrès de Psychologie appliquée; the Folklore Congress was a first affirmation of the need to base the study of folklore on a scientific basis; Mr Van Gennep's communication was received with great interest; Macmillan has sent a prospectus listing the 'Fasti' and that has been distributed to the Congress; he would like to talk to Sir James about his new book 'La confession des péches' but not now, hopes they will finish revisions soon.
