Scope and content

The Shiffolds. - Thanks his mother for her letter, and the sausages, which were 'much appreciated by Julian'. Mrs Ribàr [?] is staying here for a week. Will go up to London tomorrow, and stay at 14 Great College St for a night with Molly; thinks Charles is away. Is glad his mother likes the Tagore stories; some of them are 'a bit weak. and they certainly lose something in translation; but the best of them are really beautiful, and moving'.

The 'Russian Revolution is a splendid affair, and the best news we have had in our time'; possible that it may 'prolong the war a little', though he doubts it. Hopes that 'we too in England may soon recover our lost freedom'. Very glad that Booa [Mary Prestwich] is 'getting on well [after illness]'. Sends thanks to his father for sending 'the paper by Professor Herford', which much interested him; will write about it soon. Bessie and Julian are well. They are having 'storms every few hours, but the snow does not lie'.
