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.

Manuscript letter, in which Glover thanks Carlile for the generous reviews of his book 'Democracy in the Ancient World' (1927). Glover is very pleased that Carlile approved and writes that it was kind of him to recommend to the Baptists that they should read it. He is having a busy but enjoyable time in Silver Bay, New York, from where he writes.

Manuscript letter, sent from Montclair, New Jersey, in which Glover writes that he encloses two illuminative documents which need no commentary. He hears that Carlile has mobilsed Ball in order to find out where he is. He will leave in three weeks for Canada. He shall not halt Baptist Union Council business for some time. Aubrey's brother, Professor of Divinity at Chicago University, was here recently. Edwin Aubrey was in Cambridge, among 200 American army students in 1919.

Manuscript letter, in which Glover offers criticism of the manuscript chapter on "The Downgrade" which Carlile sent to him. Glover doesn't like it. The statements are vague; no attempt appears to have been made to identify sources, or the value of the charges, or the range of people accused. Broadly, Glover does not think Carlile does much to help Spurgeon's case (the Baptist preacher, Charles Haddon Spurgeon, 1834-1892). Two points only are made to mitigate it, namely S.H. Booth and oversight from bad health. Glover offers two suggestions: to those who dislike Spurgeon, this will be welcome evidence of narrowness and lack of judgement. Secondly, it is a pity that a man like Carlile should be considered vague and uncritical by others. Glover doesn't want to write all this. If Carlile does not like this letter, Glover will understand, but he hopes that his dislike will not extend to its author.

Manuscript letter, in which Glover sends a piece for 'The Baptist Times' and comments that no-one would be able to read it if he were to correct it anymore. If Carlile likes, the last two sentences can be removed, but that is all. He continues his letter, despite the disturbance caused by the char-lady cleaning the stairs. Glover must walk to the University Press alone today, since his family is away.

Manuscript letter, in which Glover writes that he has just spend an ample half hour packing his bags to go to Leeds tomorrow in order to give some lectures on "Reading the Gospels Again" at Rawdon College. From there, he will proceed to Glasgow to visit Waddelow and Adelaide Place Baptist Church, and his daughter, Janet, who is now teaching in Glasgow. She lives in one building and teaches next door, and both are scarcely 200 yards from Glover's grand-parents lived. The good effects of Folkestone have not yet worn off.
