Trinity College, Cambridge. - Has just been over King's rooms with the Medical Inspector: items such as antimacassars, curtains and bedlinen have been baked and washed; King's college cap has been burnt and his gown will be 'subjected to some process of purification'; the sofa covering and green baize from the door will also have to be 'shipped off'. The inspector is keen that King should not return to Trinity until a full month after his doctor allowed him to go out, and should not bring back the clothes in which he left. Does not know King's current address and asks Nelthropp to communicate with him; the college must 'take every precaution against contagion'.

22, North Side, Clapham Common, S.W. - Sympathy on the death of her daughter [Lilly Mary Grove]; he had not known her long but loved her as a daughter.
Taormina. - Expresses gratitude for Trevelyan's generosity towards the Grandmonts' pensioners and the Society, especially since they have learned they must support both the local beggars and the nuns who care for them. Miss Hill had said the Franciscans had their own property [reference to the Franciscan Missionary Sisters of Mary, who ran the lace and needlework school started by Mabel Hill]. Peppe, the old man who is 'the ornament of [the] hospice' has been seized by a religious mania and has gone on a pilgrimage on foot to Saint Alfio. Thanks Trevelyan for his "Cecilia Gonzaga".
Postmarked Egham. - Wants to get rid of some lines from a dialogue between Phaedra, the Chorus-leader, and Minos [in "The Bride of Dionysus"] to give a better musical flow.
Originally enclosing a letter to Ursula, marked 'urgent'; was going to forward it to the Darwins but changed his mind; Bessie is not coming home till the evening, and he thought he should send it at once. Has been home for a few days after going to Wallington, the [Gordon] Bottomleys and Aunt Annie [Philips]. Tom [Sturge Moore] is back here, but Marie is in London for the time being. Glad Julian will be able to come during his leave. Went to the Sickert show at the National Gallery; there were 'crowds of pictures, some very good' but in general the show at Agnews a few years ago was 'more select' and gave a better idea of him.
