Scope and content

Reports that he left Mary [at Wiesbaden, home of her brother- and sister-in-law] on the Sunday of the previous week, and states that she seemed quite well all the time 'both in mind and body'. Remarks however that she did not sleep very well, and is concerned that the journey may have been a little trying. Reports that 'all the nervousness which she showed when [he] was at Well[ington] Coll[ege] in July was altogether gone', and that, for the most part, she acted sensibly, apart from insisting on going to early service in Cologne at 7.15 am. States that he did not 'have any talk with Mrs Christopher [Benson]', and that, anyway, he had nothing to tell her, except that Mary wanted as perfect quiet as possible, which was taken for granted.' Announces that he is probably going to Rugby for a night, as he wishes to see Arthur, and to hear 'how things are'.
