The Acland Nursing Home, Oxford. - Bessie's letter 'did Grettie all the good in the world' and probably partly in consequence the doctor 'finds her improving rapidly & doesn't think there's going to be anything the matter'. Looks therefore as if they will be able to come to the Trevelyans on Thursday; will write to confirm. Is getting on with Act II [of "The Bride of Dionysus"]. Grettie is worried about sending the meat coupons by post. Tovey continues the letter on the following day: the doctor is more convinced that all Grettie needs is rest; has had to do a lot of rewriting in Act II of the opera but the 'big duet' is better than he expected, and he thinks the act will be finished when he arrives.
