10 Downing Street, Whitehall - The Prime Minister has asked her to enclose a cheque for two volumes of the bibliography.

17, Westbourne Crescent, Highfield, Southampton - Will be glad to see them, is sorry to hear of Sir James problems.

Loeb Classical Library - Has sent his letter to Mr Loeb, who says he agrees to the request regarding the French translation of 'Apollodorus'. With a postscript that the letter had been returned and is sending it again, with apologies for keeping him waiting.

25 Chester Street, Edinburgh - Congratulates the Frazers.

West Watch, Ferry Drive, Wraysbury, Staines. - Is delighted to have Trevelyan's dialogue [see Trevelyan, "Translations from Horace, Juvenal & Montaigne: with two imaginary conversations" (1940)], which he would like to see 'circulated to all universities and schools'. The rucksack has arrived safely. Stephen [Waley] went off to Oxford 'chuckling at memories of [Trevelyan] reading Gogarty and trying to prevent [his] pyjama trousers from slipping down'. Has had no word from the War Office so is back at PEP [Political and Economic Planning] and busy writing a report, but would like to visit the Trevelyans soon; must also go to Joan [Allen?]. Met Geoffrey and his brother at the Old Vic recently; thought Gielgud magnificent as Lear in a fine production.

21, Theatre Road, Calcutta. - Was very glad to receive Trevelyan's letter which arrived in his despair at not being able to get to Europe this year: had been saving up leave, when the examinership which was to pay the passage was taken from him 'for political university reasons'; has not yet told his friends in Paris that he cannot come as they are looking forward to it so much, particularly Alexander Petrovich [Kalitinsky] after his heart attack. The news of war from Europe makes the future look 'hopeless': if it breaks out, he will beg Trevelyan to try and get the Foreign Office to let his friends live in England; he will undertake to provide for them financially. Hopes that the Bengal government will support him for his job application with the League [of Nations]; the salary is smaller than his Professor's pay, but they would not have to keep up two households [.ie. in Paris and India]. Presided over the Fine Art section of the All-India Oriental Congress at Mysore over Christmas; his address criticising approaches to the study of Indian art history was much appreciated; has written no poetry, and has been unable to send his old poems to Trevelyan due to lack of funds for a competent typist. Received Trevelyan's "Beelzebub" in a typed copy, but not the book. Is nostalgic for the Shiffolds, but finds India marvellous now; saw some wonderful Hindu sculpture and architecture during his visit to Mysore, at the island of Mahabalipuram near Madras [Chennai]. Sends his love to Bessie and Julian, and asks to be remembered to the [Clifford] Allens. Has been reading a lot about art, but keeping clear of politics, to which he is 'temperamentally unsuited'.

Postmarked Englefield Green. - Thanks Trevelyan; is adapting his last version [of a line in Act I of "The Bride of Dionysus"]; describes the overlapping of parts in this ensemble section.

Headed notepaper for Mile End House, Englefield Green Surrey; address crossed out, with note that tomorrow Miss Weisse goes to 11 Greenhill Terrace, Edinburgh. - Makes a few suggestions about the production of the last Act [of Donald Tovey's opera "The Bride of Dionysus"]: Ariadne should look pale after Theseus's defection; the Satyrs' exposed skin should be darkened with 'gallons of greasepaint' as the 'sight of their flabby sickly white skin last night' gave a 'positively "indelicate" effect; Ariadne should change into a maenad behind the mist as 'her long trailing bluey green robe had a Madonna-like effect' which she is sure was not intended; the scene for the enthronement [of Ariadne and Dionysus] with the square steps are 'too French ecclesiastical'.

Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - News of Julian, who is well despite not having a good night's sleep according to the nurse, who has just taken him off for a drive, 'he & old Maria [the maid?] looking equally delighted'; he is getting onto his feet more now. She herself will take him to the village this afternoon. Hopes Elizabeth found all well at home; was very good to have her for such a 'long quiet visit'; if only they had not had 'the sad little tragedy' [the death of George's son Theodore]. Has heard no more from George; hopes Geoffrey Young 'is helping to console him'. Enjoyed seeing Robert very much; hopes he can settle to work now. Mrs Catt says she has not had so much pain for the last few days.

Thinks this [referring to an enclosure now not present?] is a 'really dear old letter'; he is 'human enough to prefer such 'thinking aloud' to 'propriety' though he would not have written it himself and hopes he will 'be spared a correspondence'. Very pleased that Elizabeth so likes his book ["Garibaldi and the Thousand"]; values her opinion 'highly'. She is 'quite right about the Sicilians'; if it were not for his considerable debt to 'individual Sicilians', he would have been 'more humorous at the expense of their absurd countrymen'. Comments on what a 'jolly time we have on the Fifth of November'. Is lunching with 'the Jans' [Jan Hubrecht and his wife] tomorrow at Cambridge. Notes in a postscript that he knows about Aunt Annie [Philips] and has heard from her.

Peterborough Deanery. Loss of a week's schooling, railway strike, mistakes in throwing all rail routes out to competition, Tom the kitchen boy had hidden knives rather than cleaning them, advice before beginning a tour of Scotland.

Reserve Trenches. Amazement at the terrain scaled by the ANZACs.

Writes to express regret at CJM's decision not to stand at the next election

Greendale House, Nottingham - teaching work rather heavy, Trinity Fellowship results out - Moore, Barnes, Trevelyan elected, so he feels that pressure forthe following year will be relieved.

Thanks WW for his remarks [on JH's translation of Homer's 'Iliad' - book seven], and gives his response to them.

2 Brook Street - Thanks WW for a copy of his Bridgewater Treatise [Astronomy and General Physics Considered with Reference to Natural Theology, 1833]: 'Even praise is sometimes presumptuous in him who gives it; and yet you will, I hope, allow me to say something of the admiration I felt throughout for the spirit, earnestness, sound reasoning and beautiful illustrations which you have given to this subject'. HH gives his corrections, criticisms and suggestions on how to improve the text.
