Trinity College - WW has 'a vehement zeal to illuminate McCulloch [J. R. McCulloch] and his tribe. I have got Smith [Cambridge University Press] to sort permission to have your second volume printed which was granted without hesitation'.

WW guessed right about Parliament: 'I have a report on hand and am ordered to get a bill drawn (not about tithes but copy holds) which occupy me much - I shall be glad to launch this new piece of law for I think it will be a useful and creditable thing done - but I am getting weary of my bureau life and lament sometimes over my lazy young days'. If RJ can get a day or two he will visit Cambridge before WW leaves for Lowestoft.

Dated 27 Dec. 1918 - Saw [Arthur] Keith at the Athenaeum, who explained the delay with the expedition committee [of the Royal Society] is that Walter Long wants to head it but has to wait until the election to see if he is Colonial Secretary; Keith will see that funds are available after Lilly explained to him that at the Army & Navy Stores it is necessary to pay when giving an order; had a good view of the King and President Wilson driving to the palace.

Sayescourt Hotel, 2 Inverness Terrace, London W.2. - Is home on leave from Kenya, and Juxon Barton suggested they meet - Silvester has information on the circumcision ceremony of the Akamba, is the only European to have witnessed the ceremony now banned by the Government.

Aldeburgh - Agrees that Frazer should be in London; is angry America refused to cancel war debts, gives his low opinion of that country; urges him to complete 'The Worship of Nature'; has just read 'The Pagan Background of Christianity' by [Sir William Reginald] Halliday, has seen a review of [Edward Gordon Selwyn's] 'Essays Catholic and Critical' in which Stanhope calls Catholicism a ‘treacherous institution’; is critical of the Anglo-Catholics as well; says Inge in his 'Outspoken Essays' isn’t clear enough on whether he believes in personal survival; Thomas Hardy writes that Radiant Religion is entering a back current; for himself the only child of his elder daughter has died and there is no consolation to the sorrow.

Postmarked Egham. - Trevelyan is right that the sarcasm does not come across in a line of Minos [in Act I of "The Bride of Dionysus"]; asks if there could therefore be a new introduction to this speech. An accelerando at the 'Behold us' chorus makes it 'one of the best joints in the work; it is because connections 'are of paramount importance where the action is at rest' that he is so concerned about the one into Minos's speech. Suggests the logical movement he wants, which 'suits Minos's legal mind'. Tells Trevelyan to look him up before the concert, as he is catching a train after it.

Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - News of Julian, who is well and does not seem to be too much disturbed by teething. He is always very excited when he sees Hearn [the butler] and 'insists on his lifting him up to look at the pictures'. Took him for a drive to the village yesterday, and now he has gone for his 'last poney [sic] cart drive'. Elizabeth's dinner on Monday will be very amusing; hopes she will not get tired out with her busy fortnight. Annie [Philips] is coming from Monday till Thursday; expects she will be in an 'over-energetic mood'; she must have helped the two young men [her Price nephews] very much as they have been making inventories. Has had no more letters from George, but C[harles] says he is quieter [after the death of his son Theodore]. Sends love and a "Times Literary Supplement" for Bob.

Harnham, Monument Green, Weybridge. - Only book of Trevelyan's which Forster has is R.R. [Romain Rolland, "Jean-Christophe"], which he has finished and will return. Meant to write about the 'N.P.' [Trevelyan's "The New Parsifal: An operatic fable"] which he very much enjoyed; also to ask where Trevelyan got his rugs, as he himself has to buy a carpet. Is writing some 'Indian articles' for the 'New Squeakly' ["New Weekly"]; this week's is on Jodhpur.

As from 20 Hinde House, Hinde Street, W.1. - Hopes he does not mind the address 'dear Bob': they have 'a distant cousinship' but it is one she values. Thanks him for sending his "Dream"; his 'Lucifer is a nobler fellow than Milton's', though she feels his Christ is 'too mild a man'; asks who the 'old wizard' is, she supposes Merlin. Would have liked to read more. Read it in bed as she is 'laid up at present'; was in King's College Hospital for a short time, as her doctor is Mrs Hennant [?] who is now on the staff there; knows she and her sister are friends of Bob's. Likes her 'so much'; they spoke about Bob. Is very grateful for the books Bob gave her in the summer. Best Christmas wishes to him and his family.

Shantiniketan, Bolpur. - Particularly grateful for Trevelyan's letter of appreciation for "The Gardener" as it has had little praise from critics; was warned to expect 'a great deal of acrimonious criticisms this time,' which has indeed come about. Trevelyan will know by now that he has received the Nobel prize for literature this year, which is 'a great honour to me and to my country'; thanks Trevelyan and his other 'friends in England, whose kind encouragement has been of such a great help'. Sends his 'kindest remembrances' to Mrs Trevelyan.
