Manuscript letter, in which Glover asks whether Carlile remembers coming to hear his address to the Classical Association, and how Sir Frederic Kenyon (1863-1952) moved the vote of thanks? Glover has received a note from him saying that the British Academy would send invitations to anybody Glover wishes to receive them and so he has put down Carlile's name first. Glover will try to arrange meeting beforehand. They may lunch at the Bonington then find somewhere to sit until five o'clock, when the ordeal takes place. Concerning a different matter, Robert was twenty-four last Saturday and had decided to be married on the same day. So Glover and his wife travelled up to Lincoln for the ceremony and had a fine day. Asks whether Carlile will be "putting the Baptist Times to bed" on the 9th or the 8th? Glover is very busy with his final revision of a volume of essays on Greek life and books before it is submitted to Cambridge University Press.

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.
