Scope and content
W[est] H[ackhurst]. Monday. - Not important, but if she does 'look in tomorrow', asks if she can lend him the second and third volumes of 'Tovey's Beethoven Sonatas'; will return the first volume, which he found 'very interesting', to her in any case. Tries 'not to upset myself - one is so unpleasant to oneself and to others if one gets fussed' and occasionally, 'through keeping quiet and cheerful, one can help people'. Sometimes of course 'precisely the same conduct irritates them; no reliable recipe exists'.
His mother is 'very depressed'; was taking her to London for three days but she has decided not to go, 'perhaps wisely. Next week. ...?.... I should go to the Bargers'; will stay one night at Wallington on the way home. Adds a postscript saying he will be in all day tomorrow (Tuesday)

Labelled in pencil, probably in Elizabeth Trevelyan's hand, 25 Sept. 1938, but this was in fact a Sunday; letter, if written on Monday as indicated, the letter should likely be dated 26 Sept.
