International Symposium on Herpes and Papilloma Viruses – Their Role in Carcinogenesis of the Human Genital Tract – II, 26–27 March 1987, Milan, Italy

Muckleneuk, 220 Marriott Road, Durban, S. Africa - Thanks Frazer for the copy of 'Native races of Africa and Madagascar', is specialising on the 'Native Question', hopes to establish a Zulu Chair at Natal University.

7 Rue Lincoln VIIIe - Is pleased to hear of the success in Oxford, and that 'Anthologia Anthropologica' is selling well; discusses the displeasing article by van Gennep, reassures her he couldn't affect the reputation of Sir James, and the 'Mercure' is not the first authority in anthropology.

128 Avenue Emile Zola, Paris XV - Is glad to hear Frazer liked his book on Spenser, is pleased to hear they are coming to Paris, and suggests a time to meet.

Addressed to Trevelyan at the Friends War Victims Relief Committee, France. - His next chess move. State of the board roughly sketched out.

The Athenaeum, Pall Mall, S.W.1. - Thanks Bob for his 'Xmas gift' ["From the Shiffolds"], which he much enjoys, and thanks him and Bessy even more for their 'kindness to William' [their son] which they 'so much appreciated'.

Pen Rose, Berkhamsted. - Has enjoyed reading [Robert's translation of Sophocles'] "Antigone"; Humphry also looked at it 'with great interest' since he has been studying the original at school. The translation seems as 'excellent and successful' as Bob's translation of the "Oresteia"; hopes it will also be acted at Old Sarum. Sends love to Bessie, and to Julian when he 'comes home [from school]'.

Thanks them for the lychees, apologies for not giving them a present. Has not yet opened the tin, but has opened his book of Wang I [Yi] and read his poem about the lychee tree, which he copies on another page, so knows what to expect. Asks Ursula to thank her father for his 'charming letter'. Hopes Julian was able to come for Christmas and was all right. Tet Htoot was meant to come yesterday, but went to Oakley, near Maidenhead, instead of Ockley; hopes he will arrive in time for the turkey.

Wallington, Cambo, Northumberland. - Elizabeth's letter arrived by the evening post yesterday, as always. They are having a heatwave; sorry it was not better weather for Elizabeth's visit. Pleased to hear about the good beginning on [Elizabeth and Robert's new] house; tells her to be careful of the long walk there; she and Sir George went to Greenleighton yesterday with Booa [Mary Prestwich] and Cooper, taking tea, and she felt quite worn out. Has had a nice letter from Paul Hubrecht, who seems to have much enjoyed Northumberland and writes 'wonderfully good English'; criticises the British lack of facility with other languages. Originally enclosing a letter from Audrey [Trevelyan?] and one from 'young [Henry Graham?] Dakyns'; asks whether he is married. Sorry Miss [Lily] Noble's invitation came too late, and hopes Elizabeth can go another time; thanks her for sending it. A lady who called yesterday said there were good stone seats and garden ornaments at the Italian Exhibition in London; it closes on 1 October and the visitor was planning to get some right at the end when they would be sold off cheaply. Thought Elizabeth might like to see them, and she could let Caroline know if anything might suit them. Glad the Enticknaps are well. Hopes Elizabeth will find someone to go with her this winter; would be happier if she had a companion 'during R[obert]'s wanderings'; supposes Meg Booth would not do; Caroline does not know her well but she is 'quieter than Imogen'.

Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - Will send back some of Robert's books: the Chaucer; Conrad's "Lord Jim", which Sir George has read before; and Belloc's book, which Caroline 'can manage better' than Sir George. Arthur Sidgwick, who is 'very well and cheerful', and his wife are here; there has been much toboganning down the hills behind the house by 'all the very large pleasure society of Stratford', though now snow and Stratfordians are gone. Delighted to have news of Elizabeth and the baby [Paul]; Aunt Annie [Philips] is very pleased at the news; she is at Palermo and has been to Segesta, which was a hard journey of eleven hours.

Has to read his [Latin] essay on Saturday morning, arrangements for him to visit to hear CJM read
