The Shiffolds, Holmbury St. Mary, Dorking. - Thanks her for the 'very pretty book-marker', whose 'design looks Italian'. Bessie is 'quite well again now'; Julian has had a cold, but not much of one. The snow has now all gone, and it is 'much milder, and has rained a great deal'. Is afraid the Annual [of New Poetry] cannot come out before Christmas, because of the 'shortage of printers and bookbinders', which is a 'pity'. Has corrected his proofs, and since his own contribution is last, only the binding should remain. Hopes to see Constables on Thursday or Friday to see how things are going. Hopes his mother will like his 'Indian play [The Pearl Tree, Robert's contribution]. It is not particularly ambitious'.

Bessie will write soon. They think Miss Barthorp is 'very good with Julian', and she is 'a cheerful person to have in the house. She is rather less shy than she used to be'. Has sent the Times [Literary] Supplement to [Edward?] Keith.
