Scope and content
Bryn Eisteddfod, Clynnog Fawr, Near Carnavon. - Asks if Trevelyan is likely to be at the Shiffolds by Saturday; if so, he will come on Sunday. Has to go on via Ridgehurst on the 4th then up north for a fortnight, but it would be good for both him and the opera if he could also come to stay towards the end of September. Hopes [Richard Douglas] Denman will be able to help him convince [Sir John] Simon that it would be desirable to release [Willi] Strecker [from internment].

Pencil annotations suggesting dates; '1916 or 17', 'Possibly Christmas 1917'; Grierson's biography of Tovey (1952) dates Tovey's appeal to Denman and Simon regarding Strecker to around the time of his first marriage, in April 1916.
