Manuscript letter, in which Glover writes that there were no other friends he had so definitely thought of as coming to support him at the British Academy and he was disappointed. Glover was allowed to lecture sitting, as his legs were very unstable, but his voice was fine. There were no hostile demonstrations, despite the character of the lecture, which some, he would have expected, would think insufficiently detached. Cowell said that Carlile wants to see the whole work before he commits to it - but it was part of the game to hand over the manuscript to Sir Frederic Kenyon (1863-1952) to be printed by Oxford University Press, so Carlile couldn't have it. An uncorrected duplicate is enclosed, which Glover would like returned to him, and soon, in order to avoid hindrances at Oxford University Press. If Carlile will be so good as to return the proof copy to him, Glover will allow Carlile to have a neat printed copy when the promised packet arrives. Presently, Oxford University Press face problems with paper rationing and there are consequently delays. Glover has never been in Cambridge for so long an unbroken period, and he neither expects nor wants to leave it until the war is over, although the place is, as Janet says, on the Birmingham bus-route for German planes. Hopes that Carlile recovers soon and that he will approve of the lecture.
