Scope and content
Written as from Mackenzie Robinson Hotel, Drumsheugh Gardens, Edinburgh. - Expresses his concern over what is happening in India: Masood's son Akbar is here and 'tragic' on the subject; stayed in Washington with the Indian ambassador to the US, Asaf Ali, who was 'all smiles and hopefulness'. Has been sent by the "Sunday Times" to cover the opening of the Edinburgh Festival, but wishes he had not taken it on. Then goes to Wallington to see Trevelyan's brother Charles, and on to York. Hopes to be in Surrey in September and see the Trevelyans. Saw the Whiteheads at Harvard, and Roger Sessions at Berkeley
