Scope and content
Worplesdon. - Very kind of Bessie to invite him to stay next week; would 'gladly come' but is 'still terribly lame, and... wanted here then on very troublesome business'. Had not heard about Don [Donald Tovey]'s chill; 'they never tell [him anything] and [Don] never writes'. Very glad to hear the baby [Julian Trevelyan] is doing so well; it must be a 'great joy' to her. Nearing the end of his third volume of [Thomas] Gray's letters; thinks it will please his 'few readers'. Asks if he may write again next week, as he is reluctant to give up such an 'alluring' prospect'; doubts sometimes however whether he will ever quite recover the use of his limb.
