Informs her that if she thinks it worthwhile to take lodgings beforehand, he thinks that Ambleside 'will be as good a place as any other.' Also mentions Grasmere as a possibility for the first week, and then on to Borrowdale. Announces that he shall be ready to go 'about the 6th or 7th', and hopes that she will have seen William before this; did not think William seemed ill, but 'he is certainly somewhat nervous, languid and irresolute...' Believes, however, that he appeared to like the idea of going to the Lakes. States that he enjoyed his visit 'L.W.C.' [to Wellington College] very much; Mary seemed very well, and that the children were delightful. Reports that he had 'some intimate talk with Edward on religious subjects, which was thoroughly pleasant and satisfactory' to him.

Hopes that she will include her letter to him in her book [Henry Sidgwick, a memoir] and that her work 'makes rapid progress.'

2 Brook Street - Thanks WW for sending him the preface to the 2nd edition of his Indications [Indications of the Creator, 2nd edn., 1846]. It effectively answers the argument of the Vestiges of Creation [Robert Chambers, Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation, 1844] than do most long articles bestowed on this work: 'with all fitting veneration for Cambridge, I must say that we needed something from there to compensate for the lengthy inefficiency of one article, which bore an University name almost openly on its back'. It surprises HH 'that the argument from immiscibility of species; - and from the adaptation of separate several parts to each other, should have been so little dwelt upon in the various answers to this book'.

Ovington Rectory, Thetford. Dated 20 November 1915 - Has made two attempts to answer her letter, thinks it would be a grave mistake to shield James from [William] Ridgeway's book ['Dramas and Dramatic Dances of Non-European Races '?]; says he will be happy to write thank you notes to his book's guarantors; fixes a day to visit; will take up the matter of the Gifford Lectures.

1 Marloes Road, Kensington, W. Dated June 22, 1895 - Refers to a sacrifice being commuted; a 'regular' fire walk in Bulgaria; mentions sulfuric acid 'would do it': this from [Edward] Clodd, who heard it from Sir R. Richardson.

Declines dinner invitation; will be out of town on the 9th.

54 Cours Napoléon, Ajaccio, Corse - In the letter of 30 October, he is resigned to the fact that they will find a collaborator for Sir James and have their own requirements; refers to the reception of Lilly Frazer’s books at the local school; writes of Madeleine, recovering from typhoid fever, and her brother, who has just received a doctorate in law. In the letter of 29 Nov. he has agreed to organise the surveys for Varagnac for the Encyclopedie Françoise. In the letter of 12 Nov., he is glad to hear they will be at their club until the end of the year; thinks the translation by Madame Roth is ingenious, but it is hard to match the quality of Sir James’ verse. The achievement of 'The Fear of the Dead' is difficult if one cannot reread the documentation and though Frazer has a good memory he should have someone help who can find what he needs and read it to him. All three letters contain news of Martine [Giamarchi, a great niece].
