Worplesdon. - Is very sorry that he cannot come to the Shiffolds: there are two weddings, he must take the Saturday one, and the curate is probably going away for his outing. Is glad to learn that Don [Donald Tovey] is better, but 'really never knew that he had been ill'. Thinks the Trevelyans will be glad to know he has nearly finished the third volume of [Thomas] Gray's letters, if only as he will now not 'bore his friends with it'. Some people here are 'worrying' him very much; with 'much taste and judgement' they choose now to complain he does not visit enough, while his 'Sunday work is enough to kill a man'.
