Scope and content

84 Plymouth Grove, Manchester. - Was delighted to get "The Bride of Dionysus" as a present from Miss Philips; began to read it last night and could not stop. Had heard a little about it from Lady Farrer, who knew it through 'her cousins, the Vaughan Williamses'. Admires the drama very much, and thinks it will 'make a most inspiring libretto for Mr [Donald] Tovey', who stayed with them [Meta and her sister Julia?] once and impressed them both with his 'real genius'; she believes if anyone can write 'adequate music' for the "Bride" it is he.
