Scope and content
Northlands, Englefield Green, Surrey. - Is delighted that Trevelyan agrees to with his suggested alterations to the third act [of "The Bride of Dionysus"] as he suggested, and with the improvements to them; feels the new Dionysus speech still needs a little work and makes some suggestions; is also not sure what Trevelyan has left of the passage about Phaedra in his type-copy and discusses this section. Would like to take the themes from the overture from this section. Asks for a list of points which defining the time in the prison-scene. More suggestions about Ariadne's third act speech. The pine tree will offer opportunities for the scene painter.
