Scope and content
The Shiffolds. - He and Bessie are 'much distressed' by the news about Keith [head gardener at Wallington, who has had a serious bicycle accident] and hope to receive more news soon; fears it will 'mean a long illness in any case'. Bessie is doing well. Mrs Grandmont is staying with them; she 'is not very strong, but quite cheerful', and Robert thinks she will benefit from resting here. Is going away tomorrow or Saturday until Tuesday; mainly at Cambridge, but staying a day in London.
Has had all his proofs now; there are few corrections, but he must wait for [Donald] Tovey to return from performing in Budapest to 'go over the Ariadne [The Bride of Dionysus] with him'. Has more than six hundred addresses now [on the circulation list for a flyer of his book], but will be lucky if sixty of them buy the book.
Hopes the coal strike will be 'averted'; supposes they will not know for several days. Might see his parents on 'Monday next' if they are in London; hopes they are keeping well.
