Trinity College, Cambridge. Dated 23rd May 1910 - Thanks him for his copy of 'Totemism and Exogamy', grieves that [Lorimer] Fison and [A. W.] Howitt have not lived to read it; had a visit from [John] Roscoe; and discusses ways he has supported Roscoe's candidature: he reminded [Lord] Crewe of Frazer's application for Roscoe, and wrote to Sir Kenneth Muir Mackenzie recommending Roscoe; notes that he knows the Chancellor [Lord Loreburn], but thinks it more effective to approach Muir Mackenzie.

Homefield, Send, Surrey - In her letter of 28 Oct. she shares that her son [Arnold Paice?], one of the first white settlers in Kenya, states that the Kikuyu do not keep pigs or sacrifice them, as mentioned in 'Folk-Lore in the Old Testament', and wonders if the reference from C. W. Hobley is correct; she thanks him for his reply on 10 November.

Postmarked Englefield Green. - Extended discussion of the last act [of "The Bride of Dionysus"] and Ariadne's turn to Dionysus. Thinks the solution must involve 'the Dionysus-as-missionary-among -the-Maenads-&-unrecognised-by them notion' and care taken by Tovey to show in Ariadne's despair that she is 'always and already immeasurably greater than her own love affair'. Does not want Love to be 'explained away' but 'unmistakeably identified with Dionysus and his particular brand of immortality'. Dionysus should not be 'a case of appendicitis', nor a 'revival' of Theseus. Sunday at 'Ampsteadam' was 'glorious' and [Elgar's?] 'new symphony is a splendid work'.

A second postcard, postmarked with the same date and time and headed 'II', reprises Tovey's thoughts about Ariadne and Dionysus: one reason that he thinks Trevelyan's latest idea is right that it returns to his original, 'most impulsively & naturally conceived' notions. Feels it is necessary to include certain things: 'Dionysus as his own prophet incognito among the maenads'; 'the chorus's fear of suicide'; 'Dionysus's capacity to rehabilitate love in asserting divinity'; the 'suddenness of A[riadne]'s conversion'. Will write about some details in Acts II and III; does not want to shorten for its own sake.
