Stuk 24 - Letter from William Wyse to James Frazer

Halford, Shipston on Stour, Worcs. - Thanks him for the copy of the 'Fasti', confesses that 'tangor' with an infinitive still bothers him, thinks the passages cited by Housman are much easier to understand; hopes to find time to comment but all is not well: describes his sister's health issues, and his own: 'In old age there is no sap or green & the arrows of the Lord stick fast in us'; describes the departure of the maid who replaced the Cornish vicar's daughter in detail, and describes the present maid, who is old, deaf, and exasperating. Accompanied by an envelope with Frazer's note, 'W. Wyse (last letter), 3d November 1929, Ovid, Fasti, Servant troubles'.
