1 doc

The Shiffolds. - Is sending his mother Chanticleer, and also [Samuel Butler's] Erewhon in case she has not read it; she 'may not care for it, as not everyone likes it'; need not hurry to send the books back. Was 'very glad' to see her a little, and hopes she is still improving. [Donald] Tovey was not at the concert, but 'turned up at the station in time'. Robert 'found Julian quite well': thinks he is 'improving a little every day', though not quickly; this morning he 'did not cry so much in his bath, which is very good'. He 'does not always sleep well, but seems less fretful than a few days ago, and takes his food well'.

Hopes his father 'enjoyed the House of Commons'.
