The Shiffolds, Holmbury St. Mary, Dorking. - Is sending a copy of his latest play [The Pterodamozels], a 'sort of continuation' of his New Parsifal; it is 'concerned with politics, as that was with aesthetics'. His mother will probably not 'sympathise altogether with all that is implied', but hopes that she will at least find it 'ends good-humouredly'.
Bessie thanks her for her 'kind letter' and will write soon. Miss Colley [the new governess] came on Monday and seems to be getting on well with Julian; she 'seems quite a nice girl', and he expects will suit them very well. Bessie is fairly well; she has 'just gone to the kitchen to knead the bread'.
Some chance of Robert's 'Krishna play [The Pearl Tree] being acted soon in London, probably 'in a small way'; expects they 'won't do it as [he] should like it, but there can be no harm in letting them try'. Will soon send his father a translation of part of Lucretius, which 'Fry is printing' for him [at the Omega Workshops].
The weather is currently 'very pleasant'; the potatoes and raspberries in their garden are doing well, but the 'apples and plums are a failure this year'. Has had a letter [19/96] from a relative 'who calls herself cousin Minna (Duckworth)'; he 'really cannot remember about her, though no doubt... ought to'. Unsure how she can be 'Minna' if her initials are 'S. O.'. Is 'ashamed to say' that he is 'very bad at remembering about my relatives'.
