Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - Thanks for Robert's letters; especially interested to hear about Robert's friend [Rabindranath] Tagore. Amused to receive from Bowes a volume of Aeschines Socraticus [Aeschines of Sphettus], containing some dialogues the [Oxford] "Classical Dictionary" says are 'not sanguine"; it reminds him of the young American lady at Rome who thought he was writing a life of Caroline Fox and that John Morley, who came to visit them at the hotel, was Sam Morley.
