Scope and content
Gable House, Lawrie Park Avenue, Sydenham, S.E. - Has been working on Act II Scene I [of Trevelyan's libretto "The Bride of Dionysus"]; [Donald] Tovey has given her the music for this section, which she feels she needs to do the translation; is not working in a 'finished and final way' as Tovey says he has made many alterations in that scene, but she will have something to discuss when they next meet. Mrs Sickert has written to say they will see each other in May. Was unable to work for a couple of weeks due to the illness of the friend [Frances Enthoven] with whom she is staying. The poem appeals to her more and more, and she hopes she will do it justice.
