Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - Very glad Elizabeth likes the dress; sorry it is 'not quite right'; Pantlin will alter it when Elizabeth next comes to town. Will be glad to give her a bed on the 11th-12th. Very kind of her to play with Dolmetsch; perhaps it will 'be better only to do that'; would not have asked her [to play a solo piece?] if Dolmetsch had not suggested it; they must be careful it is 'his concert'. Sir George has had an attack of rheumatism; not too bad but he is 'feverish & uncomfortable & gets low spirited'. Mr Calvin is spending Sunday here, but he is 'fortunately a quiet person'. Ascot Week begins 17 June and 'the Waterloo line is so crowded' that Sir George says 'nothing will induce him' to go to Aunt Margaret [Holland]'s then; she has suggested visiting on the 13th instead but has not yet had a reply from Margaret; asks if they may come to visit Elizabeth and Robert on the 14th if she agrees. Sorry that Marie [Hubrecht] has been ill again.
