Reports that they have 'a fairly perfect record' of writers [for The Spectator], and that he is having the file searched for Henry Sidgwick's work. Hopes to be able to send Nora the result by at the end of the week. Expresses his delight to hear that she is preparing a memoir of Henry's life: although he saw very little of him, he 'always had the greatest veneration for his powerful and original mind.'

Department of Ceramics and Ethnography, British Museum - Thanks him for his letter replying to his about Tonga trilithons [FRAZ/1/92], is convinced that Frazer's explanation is correct and that there is only one, was misled by Brenchley's account which derived from his officer Foljambe's report and drawing; a recent edition of 'Stewart's Handbook of the Pacific Islands' reports only one; it is possible the other collapsed or became overgrown, perhaps W. C. McKern could settle the question; there is an interesting account by Hambruch of the Ponape ruins in the Carolines in "Deutsche Gesellschaft für Anthropologie", XLII, 1911: he has spoken to Hambruch and knows he has a great deal of material. Accompanied by an envelope.

St. Giles, Chesterton Lane, Cambridge - Congratulates Frazer, hopes both are well after their 'missionary time in Edinburgh'.

Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - Glad to get Elizabeth's card and find she was out again; she must take care of herself; glad the weather has improved. Herbert Paul, Theodore [Llewelyn Davies], and Mr [J. W.] Mackail are staying with them; Mrs Paul and Mrs Mackail are ill. They make an 'amusing trio, & the talk is very good'. Hopes the Booths will reach Ravello soon; Theodore has seen some of the family and thinks Charles plays to stay at Ravello with Meg for a while; he will be good company, but they 'must not let him convert [them] to Protection[ism]!'. Very pleased by the North Dorset [by-]election; thinks the country is 'heartily sick of the Tories' but that they will keep hold of office for 'some time longer'. Sir George does not know Mr [Thomas Stewart] Omond, but he seems to have written many things as well as his book on [poetic] metres. She and Booa [Mary Prestwich] are pleased the shoes fit Elizabeth. Planning to go to London on 16 February.

20 Marmion Rd, Liverpool. - Gives the dates for his forthcoming lecture tour of the Netherlands: Hilversum; Nijmegen: Haarlem: Arnhem; and The Hague, from 10-14 October. Does not know yet where he will be staying. It is very kind of Bessie to write to people there.

Postmarked Weybridge. - Will ask Goldie [Dickinson] to send W.S.B. [Wilfrid Scawen Blunt: see 3/38]. Will be at his aunt's from tomorrow, and should be able to visit Trevelyan.

37 Alfred Place W., S. Kensington, S.W. - Is very sorry not to be able to visit Trevelyan; has been 'suddenly attacked by the illness' to which he is subject, of 'a harassing nature', and will have to be 'careful' for some time. Hopes that before Trevelyan leaves England they might see each other. Asks in a postscript if Trevelyan could send him his book ["The Bride of Dionysus"?].

9 Grand Parade, St. Leonards, Sussex. - Her husband sends 'thanks and greetings'; very kind of Trevelyan to remember him. He has gone downhill a great deal since last Christmas: he is now 'almost entirely bedridden' [with arthritis], cannot use his right hand and is hardly able to use his right, and his joints are very painful; he is pleased to know he is 'not forgotten by friends'. Ursula Wood is 'wonderful & his friendship with her, by letter, is his greatest pleasure'.

Wixenford, Eversley. - Glad that Bobby's report [originally enclosed] is again 'a satisfactory one': he has done 'well all round' and would have done very well with a 'little more briskness'. Feels his 'continued rapid growth' may be slowing progress, so has suggested to the Matron [Elizabeth Bartlett?] she should ask Mrs Trevelyan if he can take the tonic he took last year for a few weeks. His conduct has been excellent, and 'with the approval of all the masters' he has been given the senior boys' 'little privileges of walking alone etc'; thinks he has 'just the kind of character that grows with increasing responsibilities'. Thinks Bobbie intends to work hard and be higher in class by the end of term; he 'did decidedly best' in the Greek exercises they are just beginning.
