Scope and content

Draft letter, much in shorthand; note on back labelling it 'Copy of letter to Mr Mac Elwee re Melham' Written on the back of a letter (draft typescript with MS corrections) written 12 Jul 1914 at Leckhampton House, Cambridge, to 'Katie'. This mentions a 'blind lady' and 'Pearson'; that 'Mama sounds fairly well but sad'; and that the 'fleeting glimpse' he had of Katie the other day was 'so disrupted by the Folk-songs and their singer' that he wonders if she would like to visit again.
