Manuscript letter, in which Glover asks whether the later Sunday service should be at 3.15pm, 6.30pm, or 5.30pm? The 3.15pm service only gathered sixty or seventy people last Sunday. They have had three daughters at home: Anna has commission in the RAMC; Mary is working at Addenbrookes Hospital. Elizabeth and Janet have been unwell. Their evacuee teachers are on vacation. Glover's sister, Bessie, invalid and confined to the house, is nonetheless better than she was last Christmas. It is a relief not to be doing any College work. Glover also includes a letter addressed to Mrs Carlile, in which he thanks her for her Christmas letter and sends best wishes for the coming year. Asks her opinion on the King's speech and wishes that it wasn't so cold. He has taken to wearing his Canadian beaver collar.

Manuscript letter, in which Glover asks Carlile whether he has received the Ancient History volume of plates from Cambridge University Press. If not, he suggests that Carlile ask them why not, since both he and Carlile have given them space and praise enough. Glover will write something on Eusebius; he read the Loeb volume while he was in the States.

Manuscript letter, in which Glover provides a notice on Eusebius, as promised. Glover wishes Carlile would find out about T.H. Robinson. He has heard in Bristol that Robinson has been appointed Professor at Cardiff. Glover's sisters left with Miss Bowser for India on Saturday.

Manuscript letter, in which Glover writes that the notice on the second sheet can be reproduced in the 'Baptist Times' and gives all the necessary facts for the moment, namely that it has been stated inaccurately that Glover will succeed Professor B.W. Bacon in the New Testament Chair at Yale University. A proposal has been made to Glover, which he is considering, but he does not think that he will give up his domicile in England. He cannot thank Carlile for the rest of the letter in print, but he does value the wish Carlile and several others express that Glover does not go. He adds that the climate is horrible and that he is indoors, trying to avoid a cold.

Manuscript letter, in which Glover sends an account of Douglas' visit. Douglas is in top form, does things his own way, as a man should. Glover listened to every word.

Manuscript letter, in which Glover writes that he intended to write to Carlile before, but that he has been distracted by the election of a new Master and other distractions. Tells Carlile to cut the hotel in London on Tuesday and to come to Cambridge, as he did before.

Manuscript letter, in which Glover wishes Carlile 'Happy Christmas' and encloses a rather foolish interview with L.H. Marshall. Sadly, Marshall has decided against returning to McMaster. Glover was glad to see Carlile at lunch last week and to have him there for the lecture. He listened with interest to the preacher's description of himself. Glover thinks that his broadcast of 19th January did not come off well. He is to work on "The Captain of St Paul's ship" tomorrow. Four of the children are here. Some of them will hear McLaren Cook, who is more popular with the adults than with the children. For children don't like to be spoken down to, or have their ways represented in the pulpit. Sends good wishes to Carlile and his wife.

Manuscript letter, in which Glover writes that he was meant to go to Manchester on the 6th March to lecture on Euripides and to preach at the Union Chapel. However, since the 5th March, he has been in bed with a cold all day or at least for part of the day. He lectured two days ago and presented four men for M.A. degrees in the Senate House. Next week, he will go to Bristol to speak for Sammy Hughes at the Free Church Council. Carlile will have heard about Glover and his confederates, who at the Cambridge Association Committee did not endorse Aubrey's scheme. Glover sent Carlile a long letter at the beginning of February and he didn't answer. The Vice-Chancellor says that the officials of Cambridge University will have to wait on the King on 2nd April. On 1st July, Glover will receive his Litt.D. from Trinity College, Dublin. This was announced in the 'Irish Times' several weeks ago, but the news has yet to reach England. On 15th July, he will sail to Canada to lecture in Ottowa.

Manuscript letter, written from the Wilton Hotel, London. Glover wants Carlile and his wife to know how much he has enjoyed his stay with them and how much he would like to come again. The sea, ships, talks, arguments, walks, Platonism, matters concerning the 'Baptist Times', daffodils, etc. have been a huge pleasure for him. The Voyseys were at the station yesterday to see him off. Glover was very glad of this contact, since he does not often see them in Cambridge. The view of the primroses from the train window yesterday was delightful. They arrived in London twenty-four minutes late. It was a shock to see that Westminster Abbey had had a wash-and-brush-up, like the Cambridge Colleges. Glover read most of a book by the evangelist and journalist, Hugh Redwood (1883-1963) last night. He thinks he may leave the book somewhere for the finder to pick it up and read it (Redwood is, in his opinion, a good chap). But he will take the Latin book to Cambridge. Hopes that Carlile has a good time at the Spurgeon conference and sends his love.

Manuscript letter, in which Glover writes that it was a relief to be released from preaching last Sunday. The week has been very wearing, what with both the national anxiety and family trouble. The daily reports from Bristol have been positive, but any improvement is small and it is difficult to know what one ought to wish for her. She is cheerful and bright, but very weak. On national matters, the story of Edward VIII is one of the saddest Glover knows. What is he to do now? It is unthinkable. Sends his love to Mrs Carlile. It is forty-nine years today since Glover won his scholarship to St John's College.
