Scope and content
South Elms, The Parks, Oxford - Mentions their common friendship with J. S. Black; is interested in the traditions and beliefs of ancient Canaanites and Israelites, cites a passage from Jeremiah, and wonders how phrases from the Adonia came to be applied to the kings of Jerusalem; hopes Black is recovering, the news was alarming.
Accompanied by the envelope with a note in Frazer's hand, 'Adonis & Dôdah'.
