Monk's House, Rodmell, near Lewes, Sussex. - He and Virginia enjoyed Bob's "Epistle [to Joan Allen]" very much, finding both form and content 'refreshing' in 'these days of confused bitterness'; his translations [of Horace, Juvenal and Montaigne] and two ["Imaginary] conversations" were equally, perhaps even more, refreshing. Had by coincidence been reading Horace's "Satires": reads the classics in bed before getting up in the morning, and usually chooses Greek, but this time thought he would try Horace. Enjoyed it more than he expected, as he remembered being 'bored by Horace's hexameters'.
