6 Hargreaves Road, Liverpool. - Bessie's telegram to Donald [Tovey] was sent on to her in Liverpool; Donald is with the Coopers at the Henry Gladstones' house, Burton Manor, where he must stay all next week. On the 18th or 19th he is playing the Bach B-flat concerto at Petersfield, so perhaps he could come to the Trevelyans for a day or two before then. She is going to Scotland on Monday then back to Northlands on the 17th.

Northlands, Englefield Green, Surrey. - Is sorry Donald [Tovey] has been so vague: he is to be with the Coopers and Hal Rendel from 4 January, when the Northlands guests, leave till the 10th; Neville Lytton is here and thinks Donald then promised to go to Crabbett, this could be altered but she must find out from Mrs Lytton; is 'ground to pieces' by Christmas after the 'heaviest and most anxious term' she has ever had; still has to write some programmes to write for Donald before the post. Expects the Trevelyans will not be sorry if Donald does not get to them before April, but he may have time after the 12th before going to Scotland to play on the 14th. His father is spending next week here. Asks Bessie to give her love to Bobbie and say how glad she was of their 'friendlike talk'; is thinking 'constantly' of Bessie [in her pregnancy]. Donald ought to write himself, but he is 'in retirement... with a violin sonata'.
