33 Marine Parade. - Is delighted that Trevelyan liked the Pageant ["England's Green and Pleasant Land"]: thought his idea of putting the Enclosures and death duties together a good one, but says it is due to the Producer [Tom Harrison] and the Recorder [Wilfrid Grantham] that it came across so well. The Producer will be gratified by Trevelyan's praise of his performance.

West Hackhurst, Abinger Hammer, Dorking. - Wilfrid Grantham is going to take the part of the Recorder [in the pageant "England's Pleasant Land"], and the Committee are grateful to accept Trevelyan's offer [to pay Grantham]. Grantham was decided on over alternatives who would have appeared for free, but the 'show badly needs some professional stiffening'. Would like to accept Bessie's invitation to come and see Moore on Thursday. Thanks Trevelyan for all his help with the Pageant; wishes he could have taken part but would not have wanted him to be worried; he did not let them down.

33 Marine Parade, Dover. - Arrangements, involving Mrs Sprigge, to pay the Recorder [Wilfrid Grantham, in the pageant "England's Pleasant Land"]. Is glad Trevelyan enjoyed his performance; would not have been able to afford him without Trevelyan's generosity.
