The Shiffolds. -- The doctor was 'so satisfied today' with Bessie's progress that he will not call tomorrow, but come again on Friday; he says 'in some ways he has never seen so quick a recovery, at least after so serious a confinement'. Aunt Annie is coming in a motor to lunch tomorrow, which Robert is very glad of, and George may come as well.

It was the 'luckiest thing that nurse Godwin could come [after Bessie went unexpectedly into labour, the child being born dead] still nurse Fry did wonderfully well when she was alone', under trying circumstances. They will probably keep her until nurse Shepherd can come (they will probably hear about this today). Is glad the weather is warmer, though it is 'horrid today'. Hopes his parents will not catch colds.

Asks if she has the Rev. Stopford Brooke's address, or whether he is 'too old now to be worth sending a circular [for Robert's latest book] to'; also that of the Rev. W. Trevelyan [William Bouverie Trevelyan?] 'You see I am angling for the clerical public'.
