Scope and content
Harnham, Monument Green, Weybridge. - Is leaving to teach English for a few months to the children of Countess Armin, [Sydney] Waterlow's aunt; he will also learn German. Then hopes to go to Sweden to see an acquaintance [Hjalmar Bergen], whose play ["Maria, Jesu moder"] he discusses. Hopes to be reading Trevelyan's "Parsifal" ["The Birth of Parsifal"] soon. Also wants to hear about Trevelyan's hippogriff: thought it was 'being groomed by a son of Dan Leno' before. "Temple Bar" has returned his ghost story ["The Purple Envelope"]. Has almost finished a story about a Dryad ["Other Kingdom"]: this, the ghost story and "The Curate's Friend" almost make a book's worth. His novelette ["Where Angels Fear To Tread"?] is with Blackwoods. Thanks Trevelyan for Ravello news. Tomorrow he is going to see [Aristophanes'] "Clouds" at Oxford. Has been playing lots of Chopin on the piano, also some Schumann (of whom he is not so fond). The Forsters have a new housemaid, called Miss Watts.
