Scope and content
2, Cheyne Gardens. - Thanks Bob for "[The Birth of] Parzival", which he and Jan think is a 'great success', as do the Frys [Roger and Helen], whom George has just seen. They all agree on its poetic qualities, and are more involved and moved 'by the subject and the idea' than by anything Bob has written previously. George thinks it 'almost immeasurably better than "[Cecilia] Gonzaga"', though sees how that taught him to write this. Mentions the themes, passages and a line he likes best. Nothing has yet happened here [a reference to the forthcoming birth of his daughter Mary Caroline]. A postscript on the last page mentions the part of Bob's poem he thinks 'least good'.
