Stettin N.T., Braunsfelde. Dated Sept. 4, 1912 - Thanks him for 'Adonis, Attis, Osiris'; is happy his notes have been of service; the burning of kings in 'Adonis' is interesting; has a statuette that might be an Attis; believes Frazer is right in the main about [Peter?] Jensen, and thinks he is right to detach his Crucifixion theory, but he is inclined to look for the nucleus of possibilities in the 'wild and unmethodical ways', hopes he can find an opportunity of inserting a reference to his 'Israel'; many people are interested in translating 'Israel', including Sir William Ramsay and his daughter in Boston.

WW is to be one of the council of the Royal Society: 'My main reason for not refusing this is my dislike to be coupled with the Babbagian sect of spewers or railers; for in truth I do not see much chance of good coming of it'. Concerning Ricardo's analysis of rent, 'cannot it be shewn that it impossible to discriminate between the payment for the original powers of the soil, and for improvements?'
