2 St Margaret's Road, Edinburgh. - Sends best wishes to the Trevelyan for Christmas and the New Year. Expects Grettie will write soon; she is rather down at the moment, but they have 'worried through' this half of term successfully, thanks mainly to her sister-in-law Mrs Archibald who is staying with them. Wonders if Bessie could come to Edinburgh in the spring, as Grettie will not go on visits or do anything to take her mind off 'trivial worries'. The subjects of their trouble last summer have totally vanished, so were 'undoubtedly quite unreal'; he will know this in future, but her family will never understand: did not think that anyone so stupid and conceited could exist, but has to keep the peace as Grettie needs to forget her illness; she will outgrow this soon. IIs going to Manchester to show Sir Thomas Beecham the opera ["The Bride of Dionysus"]. The [Reid] orchestra is 'shaping quite well'; concerts will begin in February. Hopes 'conditions in the University will notably improve'.
