Scope and content
A very pleasant surprise to get Robert's new book, which she at first thought was another hymn book containing [her husband's] "In Babilone"; she had not known Robert was publishing his "Collected Works". Was very 'proud' when she looked through and saw how much she had read, and is pleased that she can now get to know the poetry better as it is all together. Hopes to be able to thank Robert personally soon. Yesterday, had another 'glad surprise' in a visit from Betty Muntz, who was staying with friends at Utrecht. Mr Abas is looking forward very much to making Robert's acquaintance and playing him at chess, and is 'so grateful for [the Trevelyans'] kind invitation'
