Scope and content
Northlands, Englefield Green, Surrey. - News of his marriage to Margaret Cameron, daughter of Hugh Cameron R.S.A, not D.Y. [David Young?] Cameron. Arrangements still undecided, but would like to come to the Shiffolds soon to work on scoring Ariadne ["the Bride of Dionysus" before the wedding, which is fixed for an inconvenient day he must get changed. Is on his way to the funeral of the Master of Balliol [James Leigh Strachan-Davidson]. Miss Weisse is being 'most generous', but is still 'going through an awful struggle' and does not realise how she is 'poisoning her own generosity'. Tovey thinks though that all will be well; the main trouble is his inability to say 'even the most commonplace thing about a woman to her'. Sends love to Julian; Tovey's father in law is an 'Old Master of the Glasgow School' and Bob tells him Julian is 'the Founder of the Shiffold School'; Margaret is also an artist.
