Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - Has sent Robert the "Times Literary Supplement"; he should read aloud the letter from the 'scientific man' [Sir Edward Brabrook] about Gerald Balfour and the Ear of Dionysus. Gerald and his sister, Mrs Henry Sidgwick, are keeping living together during the war; supposes they talk about 'this sort of stuff together [séances and spiritualism] from morning to night'; this accounts for the 'preposterous message' to Sir George from [Frederic] Myers conveyed to him by Mrs Verrall and Mrs Piper. Bruce Richmond is a 'wonderful good editor'; praises the "Supplement". Is reading "The Shadow Line", which he likes better than anything he has read by Conrad before, and beginning 'to catch his peculiar turn of method... that of a fine nature which turned to creation very late in a life of action'. Had a 'very good letter' from Julian recently.
