Mackenzie-Robinson Hotel, 40 Drumsheaugh Gardens, Edinboro'. -Thanks Bessie for her 'welcome and surprising note': 'delightful' that he will find her at Wallington, as he had no idea she was there. Hopes he will manage to get there, as 'Nothing could have been more miraculous' than his arrival in Edinburgh: he came up by plane, which landed him in Glasgow instead, and he did not reach Edinburgh until midnight when he was 'deposited on the pavement in a crowd of drunks'. One of them 'kindness itself' took Forster to his hotel in his car.
The Festival has started 'with a bang and a bit of a jerk. Wild welcome last to the Colonne Orchestra'. Is going to the Verdi tonight.
