Manuscript letter, sent from San Francisco, in which Glover writes that he will leave Berkeley to travel east on the 3rd December. If Carlile intends to write to him, he should send any letters to Cambridge, Mass., c/o Professor J.H. Beale, or else to Glover's Canadian address if posted after 20th December. Glover hopes that there will be no difficulty in reaching Brighton on 7th January, but if there is any delay, will Carlile facilitate postponing the Lambeth discussions until Glover arrives? Glover has tried to tell Carlile how sick the whole thing makes him; he doesn't think Carlile realises what a shindig they are in for at Cardiff. They have all got it into their heads that Glover likes fighting, when he doesn't. Glover does not want a row, yet a row there will be. J.H.S. doesn't realise how people feel about his abandonment of his original Baptist ideas. The best thing Carlile can do is to get Shakespeare to accept a pension. Glover will approve its being a generous one. Carlile can do this because he is on good terms with J.H.S. Glover hates the toadying, cadging atmosphere of the Church House! But nobody can help their case as much as Carlile can.

Manuscript letter, in which Glover thanks Carlile for sending a copy of Inge's canticle to him (Sir William Ralph Inge, 1860-1954). Also discusses what should be done about J.A.S. It is clear from the Geoffrey episode that his family do not think he should return and a resolution that he should return may thwart their wishes. Though Glover does not like the man's policies, he does not want to see disaster for him. He encourages Carlile to be wise on Tuesday and not open the door for fresh trouble.

Maunscript letter, in which Glover thanks Carlile for the cheque that he sent in recompense for the article, but returns the cheque on the basis that he did not expect to receive anything. They may consider his article part of the main job. He also returns a typescript letter written by his father [dated 20th February 1906], concerning a book on the Baptists.

Manuscript letter, in which Glover thanks Carlile for the books. Several have been used or consulted. He writes from Sheringham in Norfolk, where he has had to preach sermons to the United Methodists and Primitives. Glover likes serving these people - old men whom he knew in 1903 are still there. His entire family is in Norfolk with him.

Manuscript letter, in which Glover writes to Carlile with a list of "roughly 1001 things". Encourages Carlile to give generous praise to T.H. Robinson, D.D. of Aberdeen. Though Robinson wasn't promising as an undergraduate, he has grown and developed greatly; Glover requests that Carlile do justly for him. Concerning Ben Greenwood, Glover doesn't often agree with him, but on this occasion, he does - and against Charles Brown as well. Glover is not doing any work at the moment and cannot bring himself to plan twelve future articles just yet. He found preaching at the United Methodist Church more tiring than expected and is still undecided about Yale, though Mary says that he shouldn't make a decision until he is fitter. She is sitting with Glover as he writes and asks to tell Carlile that she has returned the book that he sent to her for review.

Manuscript letter, in which Glover writes that he had Carlile's wire at the City Temple, but was sick of the morning sessions by lunchtime and, upon taking a break in the vestry, was bound to worry about the evening sermon. After which, he returned to Cambridge by the late train. He meant to drop a line of apology, but he forgot. Having over slept after lunch, he was late for the committee meeting, in which they nominated Townsend for Vice-President . Glover wrote up the false Pilgrim's Progress on Monday; not such a bad book, but long and windy and not Bunyan. The 'Baptist Times' will be unique in having anything of it. He has asked Cambridge University Press for a book on missions in early California, but it will take some time to arrive. Glover notes that the 'Baptist Times' asks special prayers for Canadian Baptists in view of a pending visitation and agrees.

Manuscript letter, in which Glover writes that he is glad that Carlile is back and that he enjoyed himself. The people of Cambridge never turn out in full to mark that Glover is home again, but he is liked by some neighbours, which is pleasant enough.

Manuscript letter, in which Glover requests that Carlile read the anonymous letter he has written for the 'Baptist Times', concerning an incident in which two Council members talked to a Moderator. Glover hopes that it will be printed as a friendly challenge. It may stimulate some thinking among Council talkers. Glover is going to give three addresses in Bristol in the first week of January on "Reading the Gospels Again" and to broadcast a sermon in Cardiff. He has made an engagement with some class or college to speak nearly every Sunday of next term; this is not for the public. Presently, he is 'tiffling about' doing nothing with no special result. He wishes that ministers would not give "Manchester Guardian progress" at length to their congregations. Glover ends by commenting that his letter has grown as long and as rambling as some of Cicero's, but that Atticus took length and rambling as a sign of friendship.

Manuscript letter, in which Glover confirms that he has read through Carlile's typescript book and now offers, with some difficulty, criticism of it as requested. The latter section is better than the second section, since its purpose is much clearer. He found it difficult to link the paragraphs of the earlier sections, though this may be his own fault, since he has had to contend with many distractions; Carlile should disregard what he says. The overture makes the point vividly, but the following two sections lack fusion. He suggests a re-arrangement of parts. As to the detail, Glover hesitates about the use of the Fourth Gospel. The hymn chapter wavers a bit towards the end. Other comments aside, he has from Bristol further news concerning Buchmanism and has heard that it is splitting the old Union. He had a long talk with Bishop John Taylor Smith (1860-1938) about it yesterday. They carried their objection to the fresh opening of pubs, but how he hates being in a court among publicans and their solicitors on market day, when the crowds come in. Glover confesses to being a snob and a don and a recluse.

Manuscript letter, in which Glover thanks Carlile for his letter and for the copy of a review in the 'Baptist Times'. He is glad to learn that several men in Cambridge beyond his intimate circle of friends, have found 'Greek Byways' (1932) readable - Carlile's evidence confirms this further, so Glover draws courage. He asks to be remembered to Mrs Carlile.
