Scope and content
The Shiffolds. - Thanks her for her letter, with the Mackail pamphlet on Shakespeare [Shakespeare after Three Hundred Years?]; will send it back to his father, with Mackail's letter, in a few days. Everyone is well here. The hay-making is now over, and it is 'quite chilly' today. He and Bessie met Mrs Tovey in London, and 'liked her a great deal. She is very Scotch and sensible, and probably is just the right sort of person to look after [Donald]'. The Toveys will probably come to the Shiffolds to visit in about a fortnight. They have had a 'very difficult time with Mrs Weisse, who has of course behaved outrageously', but Mrs Tovey 'wants to avoid a quarrel if possible.
The day they met Mrs Tovey, they also had tea at the House of Commons with Charles, who seems well. Will be 'very pleasant for Julian to see something of his cousins when he is at Wallington'. Bessie sends love; she says she will write soon, but has been 'very busy'.
