Letter 120, dated 5 July 1815, contains extracts from De Rancé [poem by John William Cunningham]

Trinity Lodge, Cambridge - Congratulates Frazer on the honorary doctorate from Oxford. Lunched with the recently arrived Senator Hoar from America, who had bought a copy of Pausanias immediately upon arrival.

Newnham Cottage, Queen's Road, Cambridge - Is changing his plans so that he can hear Painlevé speak, but warns that if Painlevé doesn't speak English, his French is too poor for social purposes.

13 Greenhill Terrace, Edinburgh, Sunday 4 or 5 Jan 1925 - Congratulates the Frazers.

Postmarked Mainz. - Has just played through some of Act I and Act II [of "The Bride of Dionysus"] for Herr Geheimrat [Strecker], who 'has none of the doubts he had a year ago' and thinks that they should risk five acts due to the contrast in atmosphere between the prison and Labyrinth scenes. Is feeling 'more encouraged' than he has for some time, and feels that if he can get the instrumentation of the duet right he will be 'out of the wood'. Asks for permission for an omission and an insertion. Has recently realised the necessity of making an emotional point of the words 'Against my bridal day'.

Geneva. - Came on here from Chamonix yesterday because of bad weather. Discusses arrangements for visiting Elizabeth; would be glad to see B[ertrand] Russell and his wife if they are there. The end of the holiday is approaching and she is in some ways happy to be leaving the mountains, which are 'very, very wonderful' but 'one gets a little oppressed with them'. Booa [Mary Prestwich] was quite unwell at Chamonix, but is better today. Hopes the second concert went well.

Thanks Flora for the kind offer of a 'goat cream cheese'; he will 'delight in it', and it will bring back memories of Greece and Italy; is not sure about Bessie, who feels 'a little unworthy of it', but will give it a try. Hopes to go to Italy at the end of March to see [Bernard] Berenson, and a friend at Corton [Umberto Morra]; also hopes to see Lina [Waterfield], who is 'bad about writing' but is no doubt busy with 'her fondo and other things'. Cannot discover where Pan was born; Tmolus is 'as likely as anywhere' and is often associated with him, as in Shelley's "Hymn to Pan". Glad his translations pleased her; has not been able to write any of his own poetry for a 'long time now'. Hopes to visit her before going to Italy.

18, Earls Terrace, London, W.8. - Was photographed by John Paignton, as were Vic and Graham; late night with Vic telling stories; has finished a TV play, "The Musical Offering"; Tennents are looking for a director for "Sirens"; Hollywood calls often asking him to write the script of the "Voyage of the Beagle" but doesn't have time.

Is a sculptor, and went to 'Amadeus' as another night out, but found it profoundly illuminated her own experience as an artist constantly tangled by the labyrinths of administrators, and the power games played, particularly towards her as a woman: 'Salieri, so skilfully highlighted upon that stage, underlined just why power games are so serious to the players'; she left the theatre with 'eight years of social ambiguity and frustration ... succinctly brought into focus'.

George Green and EB are grateful to WW for all his help with the printing and distribution of GG's memoir. Sends WW another memoir to WW by GG: 'the Cambridge Transactions ought to lead all others in mathematics. I am convinced that the want of them is deemed an affectation - You are right about practical analysis - the age of the Warings, the Quixotic Chivalry of science is gone for ever'. George Peacock's algebra - '(to use a comparison) he still begins the Differential Calculus from Velocities'. Richard Jones 'is certainly a very able man - his idea of the labouring Classes gradually coming under the domain of Capitalists, is striking and true'. The 'moral machinery' of industrialisation 'has not kept pace with the population'. WW's Bridgewater Treatise 'is very striking - It certainly places the whole affair on a new and solid foundation'. For EB 'the Belief of a Deity from a view of nature is a matter of impression - what brings direct conviction to my own mind would appear absurd to another, and I never could announce it without hesitating'.
