Scope and content
The Athenaeum, Pall Mall, S.W.1. - Delighted to get Elizabeth's letter; interesting that her life falls 'exactly into 2 parts of 25'. Enjoyed Holland very much at Easter, and Bessie's friends were very kind to them; this made a big impression on his mind, and 'on the perhaps more impressionable virgin soil of Mary's'. Much enjoyed seeing Bob at the Hunt, and reading his 'book of poetic criticism' ["Thamyris: or, is there a future for poetry?"]. Love from himself and Janet; tells Bessie to 'live another 25 years until Julian is a very distinguished architect'; to reach seventy-five is all he asks for himself and others.
