Scope and content
Shulbrede Priory, Lynchmere, Haslemere. - Thanks Trevelyan for his 'most useful letter', particularly since he is compiling a second volume of English [diaries] as well as the 'Scotch and Irish' [both books were published in 1927; Ponsonby's first volume on "English Diaries" in 1923]. Would be grateful if Trevelyan could lend him Zachary Macaulay's book; has got [George] Crabbe now, as well as Dorothy Wordsworth, his 'only really bad miss'; will look up [William?] Allingham and Thelwall. Think 'slightyness' certainly ought to be 'flightyness'; would have liked to have it corrected for the second edition but is too late; is happy with the other reading for which Trevelyan suggests a correction. Asks Trevelyan to let him know if he thinks of any more diaries; has found many good ones he missed before, and 'some quite amusing MSS are coming in'. They [he and his wife Dolly?] have just been to visit Logan [Pearsall Smith] at Chilling, which is a 'perfectly delightful place'; Logan seemed very well.
