My dear Greg

I have the great pleasure of conveying to you by desire of the Council the thanks of the College for the admirable Catalogue of the Capell Collection which you have completed with such care. For the first time it will be possible for outsiders to know what it really contains.

Asks WW to help him gain a government pension by signing 'a kind of recommendation'. Needs a pension to carry on his 'antipapal and antifatalistic warfare'. Thinks Dr. Latham and Dr. Lee would sign the recommendation. Wants WW to forward the sale of his remaining copies of 'Anti-Popery' as it sells slowly. Needs money to pay printers bill. Booksellers want a cheap third edition to reach 'the poorer kind of readers, especially in Ireland'. When they met last Rogers disappointed in WW's commitment to helping him. Wants WW to reconsider.

The Athenaeum Club - WW sends RJ 'some lucubrations on the subject of McCulloch's review...Do not be alarmed - I am not going to publish them in a hurry or probably at all'. WW does not 'care so much about abusing Peter as about setting the matter on its proper footing - they are suggested as much by talking with the Ricardites as by the Review'. WW finds 'that people have by no means made out clearly what is new and peculiar in your doctrines and they will be long in doing it except it is put somewhere in a short compass to begin with. My view was to write what might benefit the political economists at the Athenaeum'. WW has only spoken to two or three people on political economy - 'for nobody talks of anything but reform'.

49 Upper Bedford Place -

Volume of letters arranged alphabetically by correspondent, with usually no more than one letter per person, each correspondent identified at the top of the page on which the letter is mounted, in the form of an autograph book.

Thanks him for his 'kind and interesting letter.' Refers to his incurable disease and the effect that it would have on his quality of life and ability to carry out his work. States that it has caused him to value all the more the kindness of his friends. Feels that he is unworthy of von Hügel's praise, but appreciates the recognition of his friends of the work, which he looks on as incomplete and imperfect. Does not know what the future holds, and states that as soon as he is physically strong enough he will 'endeavour to endure [the] habits of daily work', but that he has been 'warned against anything like fatigue.' Claims that he shall be very sorry if he is not able to write something more on the subjects on which they have exchanged ideas at the Synthetic Society. Expresses his sympathy with Von Hügel in his anxiety about his sister's health.

Forwarded from Venice to Milan by [Thomas] Holme.

The Folk-Lore Society - A form letter sent to British societies and institutions of which Sir James is a member announcing the publication of the bibliography and suggesting that each institution subscribe for two or more copies. With notes in Lady Frazer's hand at top asking for the return of the letter, and with a note to the Secretary: '2 1/2 stamp please or letter will be refused'.

Court Leys, Toot Baldon, Oxford - Congratulates Frazer: it is good that the 'larger, but perhaps less instructed body that we call the state' has recognized his work.

Thanks them for visiting, is sorry to have missed them, this is his first letter since the operation; they will not hear from his wife for some time, as she has been extremely ill.

The Pantiles, Englefield Green, Surrey. - Asks Trevelyan if he could do Eugenie Schumann, and thereby her, a favour by letting her know quickly what he thinks of Marie Busch as a translator from German into English. She is telling Miss Schumann that from what little she herself saw of her, Miss Busch knew both German languages well, but would appreciate a few lines from Trevelyan. Hopes the Trevelyans, including Julian are very well. Asks in a postscript that her question be kept a secret, as Miss Schumann requested.
