Congratulates him on his chancellorship [of Lincoln Cathedral], admitting, however, that he has no idea what a chancellor is. Supposes that his new position will give him the leisure 'to construct the Church of the Future, and reconstruct that of the past.' Adds that he has just met 'a quasi-ecclesiastical layman', who confused him in relation to the characteristic functions of 'Chancellor' as distinct from 'Canon'.

Thanks Sidgwick for his letter with critique, which gave him 'great pleasure and satisfaction'. Expresses regret that Sidgwick will not be reviewing his work this time. Refers again to his criticisms of his work, and to the works of Aristophanes. Claims to be 'horrified to find to what opinions [he] stand[s] committed on the subject of marriage' and mentions that he himself got married recently.

Henry Sidgwick: A Memoir, which she is grateful to Nora for sending, arrived the previous day, and she is reading it 'with the greatest interest'. Declares what a privilege for her it was to have known Henry, and says that the fact that he and her father [Roden Noel] were such dear friends gives the book 'a double interest' to her. Observes that there are a lot of letters to her father included in it. Praises the portraits of Henry in the book. Looks forward to seeing Nora the following Saturday, and adds the arrival time of the train that she proposes to travel by.

Express their heartfelt sympathy with Henry and Nora Sidgwick, and their wish that Henry may soon recover from his illness, of which they learned from F.W.H. Myers. As his pupils, they wish to assure Henry of the honour and respectful affection in which they hold him.

10017 - 85th Ave., Edmonton, Alberta - Asks for a bibliography on the subject of Fasting in the Old Testament.

21 Tenison Avenue, Cambridge - Encloses his timetable to show how busy he is, and how he has not been able to come to Trinity, but will be at the lecture.

10, Wood Lane, Highgate, London, N.6. - He may give a course of lectures to the Asiatic Society on Linguistic Classifications and Social Linguistics, and lists the nine languages he will examine; will also lecture in Cambridge on popular religion and beliefs in India.

35 Lowndes Square, S.W.1. - Congratulates Frazer.

28, Rue de la Tourelle, Boulogne sur Seine. - Thanks Trevelyan for all the trouble he has taken over his own translation; agrees with nearly all the corrections, as they give 'a more living note' to the text. He has lived so long away from the 'atmosphere' of English that it has become 'dead and slow' for him. Curtis Brown Ltd are his agents in England, and will circulate the MS; has heard that it has already gone to Allen Unwin. Has missed out on the American rights for a translation of Cheng's work, and it would be very helpful, 'at this difficult period of [his] life' if it were accepted by an English publisher. Has heard from Geneva that the post he was trying for has gone to another Indian candidate; hopes that things will improve for him soon. Is not sure when he will be able to come to England. Madame Germanova has just returned from Italy, where she has been playing with the Pitoëffs, and send regards.

129 Wendell Road, Shepherd's Bush, W.12. - Thanks Trevelyan for his advice on a passage from a classical author for "Billy Budd" [see also 3/83]; Ben [Britten] is also grateful. They have also hunted in vain for a suitable extract from Plutarch, and expect Forster will have to invent one: 'the associations of Aristophanes and the Anthology aren't so correct.' Has had to return from Aldeburgh and goes back to the nursing home tomorrow 'to be overhauled again' [after his prostate operation]. Is glad Trevelyan's troubles are mending.

Hotel Biscione & Bellevue, Piazza Fontana No 8 e 10, Milan. - His itinerary for the journey to Ravello, including 'the Cava of the Browning letters'. [Roger] Fry is much better, and he and his wife start tonight for England. Saw another fine private art collection this afternoon, including a fine Correggio (not usually an artist he likes), and a Titian or Giorgione of 'a lady rather like Mrs [Mary] Costelloe only finer'.
