Revue de l'histoire des religions, Direction, 28 rue Bonaparte, Paris - Gabriel Ferrand has received the text of his remarks at the Société Ernest Renan, which might be published by the "Revue de Paris"; the Société would like to make him an honorary member.

Accompanied by the envelope addressed to the Hotel Lutetia, Paris.

Metelliano. - Enclosing a list of passages in G.M. Trevelyan's "English Social History" on which Morra seeks clarification for his translation [see also 5/102]. Asks that if R. C. Trevelyan is in the nursing home already and cannot attend to them, he should pass them on to someone else, perhaps his brother. Hopes the operation has gone well and asks to be informed about it. It was snowing heavily today and he remembered the Shiffolds. Tells Trevelyan to come to Italy in the spring.

Postmarked Park Lane L[iver]pool; addressed to Wallington, Cambo, Morpeth. - The 20th should work well for Trevelyan's visit. Glad he approves the estimate for his "Oresteia" [Trevelyan's translation; see also]. Will have it put in hand at once and it should be out before Christmas. Sees Trevelyan has asked for the MS to be sent back: he should not keep it too long. Comments on 'D. Millett's' appearance.

Mill House, Westcott, Dorking. - Thanks his mother and father for their letters; will reply to his father from abroad. The Chinese poems [see 46/102] were by Professor Giles, not him; one day he will bring the book [Giles' Chinese Poetry in English Verse] to Wallington, as some of its poems are 'very amusing, and others quite pretty'. Copies out one he might send to George, An Agnostic, by an anonymous poet, 'a contemporary of Voltaire'.

Thought George's article 'a little over-emphatic in places', but essentially agreed with it, and thought it 'much better written' than his previous articles in the Nineteenth Century, Heart of the Empire etc; is glad to see his book [England under the Stuarts] is getting good reviews. He himself plans to write 'a comedy... or else a comic prose story', although he may change his mind when he reaches Italy; he does not want to write 'any long serious poem or play'. They are glad Meg Booth can come out to Italy later; thinks she will 'prove an excellent companion'.

The [new] house is getting on well, and is now 'quite roofed'; they have been 'arranging for a more satisfactory approach by making the drive longer', which will cost more but 'be better in the end'. Will not decide finally until they have estimates. The Vaughan Williamses are not putting 'difficulties in the way' of their new plan, which is good. Bessie has made arrangements for some work to be done in the garden while they are away in Italy; she will write to Caroline as soon as they get there; their address will be care of Bernard Berenson at I Tatti. Bessie also thanks Booa [Mary Prestwich] for her letter, but is too busy packing now to reply; will write from Italy.

Thanks his mother for her letter. Gives the scores for a school cricket match against Mortimer yesterday, in which they were beaten; most of the Wixenford boys 'were ill during the last innings', and were all ill on the journey home and most during the night, though he and G[eorgie] are all right now. There is a match at Wixenford on the 24th against Hartley Row. Comments on the 'very good photograph of Spider'. Has received a letter from Archie, who has been unwell but has just gone back to Charterhouse. Bathing is beginning now. Is very glad that Molly has come back. 'Account all right'. Adds a postscript noting how hot the weather is; is 'glad Papa likes it, and is quite well'; the beginning of a request for his mother to send something is crossed through.

5 St Mary's Passage, Cambridge - is lonely after mothers 's departure, working hard, Austen Society meeting a success.
