Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - Has been reading the article on Robert's book in the latest, 'conspicuously thoughtful and refined number of the "Times Literary Supplement"' [on "The Deluge, and Other Poems": [Bailey, John Cann], "Mr Trevelyan's Poems", "Times Literary Supplement", 25 Mar 1926 p 232] which must have given him great pleasure; his part in the 'curious movement for interpreting Greek to a generation which has given up the very serious labour of reading [emphasised] Greek as an intellectual community' is an important one. Parry has sent Sir George an advance copy of his biography of Henry Jackson, which is the best he has ever read of a man or woman he has known personally; Parry must 'be a beautiful character himself' from all he has heard of him.

Garden Corner, West Road, Cambridge. - Very sorry not to see Bessie yesterday, and for the reason; hope the move will 'not be long held up by her lumbago'. [Mary's] 'was a very delightful wedding, thoroughly "Trinity"': the Master signed the register, [Reginald?] Parry was there, and A. E. Housman 'honoured the chapel with his presence'. There were about two hundred guests; Mary looked 'very dignified and beautiful'; the reception at home went well and Bessie's present of 'the Italian bowl' was admired; Aunt Annie [Philips] 'was in great form'. The newly-weds are in Italy now until 18 October. Very glad Bob likes his book ["England Under Queen Anne: Blenheim" - always pays 'special attention' to his judgments - and that he likes Mary's ["William the Third and the defence of Holland, 1672-4"].
