Letter re possible entrance to Winchester College in 1927; entry regulations and examination papers for scholarships and exhibitions to Winchester College, June 1928; notification of first place in examinations, 9 June 1928 and newspaper cutting.
The Well Farm, Warlingham, Surrey - Congratulates Frazer.
Brandon Street, Edinburgh - Is concerned to hear about Sir James' eyes; they will subscribe to five copies of the bibliography; they made an error sending revised proofs of 'Fear of the Dead' accompanied by the corrected slips, communicated this to Macmillan to put it right; Macmillan was not to blame.
Revue de l'histoire des religions, Direction, 28 rue Bonaparte, Paris - Is pleased they can come to the Société Ernest Renan meeting, and will be happy to publish his remarks in the Revue and the Bulletin.
Crowfield, Dymock, Glos. - Will be at Dymock for a month or two, hoping to do some work. He approves the "Annual" [a follow-up to Trevelyan's publication of 1917?] though Marsh is bringing out a "G.P." ["Georgian Poetry"] at Christmas and they might clash. He himself wants to publish in book form in the autumn; "Empedocles" would do well for the "Annual", though it is not yet finished. Delighted to hear Trevelyan is in England; he should stay if he can. Saw Trevelyan's brother George the other day. A postscript says that the two books ought not to clash if Trevelyan takes care.
Wallington, Cambo, Northumberland. - Agrees with Robert's view of Euripides, although he reads so much of him; discusses Macaulay's view of the "Iphigenia in Tauris". Has just finished [Aristophanes's] "Batrachoi" ["The Frogs"] with 'intense delight'. Has finished the 'American part' of his book [a volume of "The American Revolution"] and has one concluding chapter left to write. Will send Bessy a hare if he can get one. Would like to make [Goldsworthy Lowes] Dickinson a 'Special Commissioner of Road Traffic'].
copy of poem by Ezra Pound which reminds John Cornford of EPS's book
Thanks his mother for her letter. Thinks Georgie has nearly recovered from his cold. Has received a letter from 'Grandpapa Philips', and will write to him today. There was meant to have been a [cricket] match with Bracknell last Thursday but it rained so they did not come; it also rained on Friday, so the match will now be next Monday. Robert is in the eleven, at square leg. Has not got a cover for his bat, but can 'easily' get one by sending the measurements. Does not think Georgie wants any paper, as Robert 'can rule the un-ruled paper' for him; Robert would like a few stamps, as he has not got many. Hopes 'Papa is nearly well, and will be able to come'.
Dunford House. - He and his wife send a 'thousand thanks' for the 'delightful Christmas card' [this year's "From the Shiffolds"]: Trevelyan and Gilbert Murray are 'transubstantiating Menander', whom he only knew before through 'his dimidiated Terence'.
Downside Abbey, Stratton-on-the-Fosse, near Bath.—Asks him to borrow two articles by [Morris W.] Croll from the [Cambridge] University Library. Encloses particulars of a vacancy. Has just met Passarin d’Entrèves, the new Professor of Italian Studies at Oxford. There seem to be a number of Catholic dons there concerned with that subject now. Asks who got the chair at Cambridge.
Contains: poem, "Winter Fruits", by S. S. [Sylvia Sprigge]; "The Museum", by R. C. Trevelyan; poem, "Lyric", by Geoffrey Eley; poems, "White Clouds" and "The Warrior" by Richard Townshend; poem in German, "Irgendwo", by Ludwig Marx; piece in French, "Histoire d'une Idée Neuve", by Ida Hennessey.
Union Club, Alexandria. Has met Winstanley who is working for the Red Cross, relief in the Peninsula at the change of command.
'Engagements 1964'. Detailed list of public and some private appointments on a daily basis
Suffering somewhat from toothache, Deighton took back "Arnold's Life" without a word
Congratulates him on the 'tremendous' play, is going November 5th.
About her fiancé, John Bowater Vernon.
Collingwood - JH is preparing 'a popular lecture on the sun adapted to the meridian of our Hawkhurst trades folks and farmers'. He is also producing a translation of the first book of the 'Iliad' into hexameters: 'It is shockingly bald and homely by the side of Pope - but I flatter myself a good deal more like Homer'.
7 Camden Street and Town - Thanks him for pointing out the misprints. 'Nineteenth century is a bad misprint - and I ought to have detected it by the absence of the words "march of intellect" in the immediate neighbourhood'.
Thanks WW for his book [probably 'Notes on the Oxford University Bill in Reference to the Colleges at Cambridge', 1854]: 'I find it exceedingly interesting'. Does WW 'recollect a remarkable passage in Shakespere (Hamlet act 1. Sc: 4) in which he points to the division of moral attributes into inborn and circumstantial'.
Addressed to Mr Travis, York, brother of Mr Travis, the College Chaplain, 'now confined as being deranged', regarding the latter's position as Chaplain.
