Writes to wish her a happy birthday. Explains that he is very busy. Regrets that she has not yet seen their home in Cambridge, and declares that he hopes that when spring come again she will 'see the trees growing leafy in Magdalene Gardens, from [their] windows'. Reports that Arthur has just been to Cambridge, and that he is looking well and is in good spirits. Remarks that Rugby 'seems to have a very serene existence on the whole'. Was very shocked to hear of [the death of] Wyndham, and reports that L[ankester] spoke a little with Nora about it.
