Scope and content
2 Garrick's Villa, Hampton-on-Thames. - Spent the last ten days of his time abroad at Somerset Maugham's villa near Nice, as the only guest; Maugham is 'industrious' so he had much lot of time to himself, there is a lovely bathing pool. Is delighted with "From the Shiffolds" and its dedication to him; also thanks Trevelyan for the Theocritus translations, which he found when he returned. Must have been delightful having Moore to stay: hopes the rest at the Shiffolds did him good after his recent illness, and that he did not even go up the hill to see the Wedgwoods [Ralph and Iris].
