130 East 40th St. New York - Is a fan, sends a copy of her 'Ancient Pagan Symbols'.

Athenaeum, Liverpool - Is preparing a school register and asks if he can identify a boy named Groves who attended Holly Lea preparatory school in Liverpool.

Asks if he may call Trevelyan 'Bob'; thanks him for all his kindnesses. Has received [Alberto] Moravia's book and the letters of introduction; asks him to thank [Bernard] Berenson for obtaining these; is particularly grateful for the one for the director of the Institute de Osma. Will probably leave for Spain around 3 Sept; Madame Germanova will be here when Trevelyan comes. So grateful for his offer to lend the money; seems unlikely that there will be more from India, and Suhrawardy has recently been disappointed in his hope of being appointed guardian of the Hyderabad state scholars. It was thought the India Office would not like the appointment of an Indian, and an Englishman has been sent out. Must find something in England. The sporadic money he has been receiving from his father will probably stop when he retires at the end of the year. Perhaps he might work at the High Commissioner's office or the India Offie. Will try in India, for which he leaves on 14 November; hopes to return on the Italian boat and will then see Berenson. Madame Germanova will go with Trevelyan to a French notaire to fix the mortgage; gives some details of the proposed arrangements for repayment.

c/o Professor Utrecht [sic: Ambrosius Hubrecht], 2 Janskerkhof, Utrecht, Holland. - Has received six copies of his "Polyphemus" and hopes J. [Johnson] has sent Fry the same number. Fry's illustrations look very well, though expects he will not be happy with the printing; has found a mistake in the "Ode to Dionysus". Is sending a copy to [Robert] Bridges but not [George] Meredith. Asks Fry to let him know how it sells. Going to spend some time with B.B. [Bernard Berenson] on their way; his wife says he is 'rather out of sorts'. May stop at Verona on the way.

Since Miss Russell was kind enough to send him Aubrey [Waterfield]'s postcard recently, sends her one he has received himself from Lina; the Waterfields hope they will soon be able to get a boat to bring them to Britain so it is probably not much use writing to them; certainly they do not seem to have received the postcard Robert wrote. Hopes that the Waterfields' 'troubles are over' and that they will soon see them. Hopes she has been having a 'quieter time lately', as he and Bessie have.

Cairo. Does not care for the comparison of Asquith and Lloyd George with Newcastle and Peel, DAW has been moved from Alexandria to Cairo.

Gloucester Conservative Council invite Charles James Monk to stand at the next election

[Printed at bottom: Robert Greenberg] - His year at Stanford is drawing to a close, and will be spending the summer in Omaha; hopes the work on 'Amadeus' is going well.

18, Earls Terrace, London, W.8. - Sends a cheque; the rehearsals are going badly, the Juliet Mills character was fired yesterday; the director is a lunatic.

Department of Manuscripts, British Museum. - Hopes soon to be able to 'revise Mr [H. I.] Bell's transcript of the Isocrates papyrus'; this will take a little time but he will then send it to Wright to print in the Journal of Philology.

Regarding Wright's enquiries about Lawrence, the notes in Lansdowne MS.98 art 26 are not those printed by Strype in appendix LXXXV to his Life of [Matthew] Parker, but notes on Gregory Nazanzius [?] not the New Testament, 'and I cannot find that we have the latter'. The Lansdowne notes are 'no doubt by hthe same person; for they are endorsed "Mr Lawrence ye great Grecian, Teacher of yt [that] tongue to ye Lady Burghley", which corresponds with Strype's account'. Discusses the use of the same phrase in Ballard's Memoirs of Several Ladies of Great Britain, 1752, and the likelihood that it refers to Giles Lawrence rather than Thomas Lawrence. Cites a reference to Giles Lawrence in Bishop Kennett's MS collections, Lansdowne 982 f 55.
