Scope and content

They [she and Julius] thank Robert for his 'most interesting book' [his translation of Aeschylus' "Oresteia"?]; they will take it to the country to enjoy it 'in quietude'; wishes him 'great success' with it. Must also be a 'deliverance' for Bessie to have finished her translation [of " Character and the unconscious : a critical exposition of the psychology of Freud and of Jung" by J.H. van der Hoop]. Has not yet met Dr van der Hoop. The Röntgens all hope that next year will bring all the Trevelyans to Holland again; 'such a long time' since they last met. Asks whether Robert agrees Julian has a 'great [underlined] talent for painting': 'Not onely [sic] the colours but the expression is so good also'. Expects the Trevelyans will have 'cosy days together'. All best wishes.
