Scope and content

The Shiffolds. - The weather is bad again. Bessie and Julian are well. Miss Busch is on a visit here for about a fortnight. Last week Mrs Mann and Mr [John?] Foulds were here 'planning the production of... The Pearl Tree'; thinks it 'may come to something someday, though hardly this year'. [Goldsworthy Lowes] Dickinson also came for three or four days. Robert's play [The Pterodamozels] was 'well-reviewed by Clutton Brock' in the Times, also in the Nation, and 'seems to be selling a bit'.

Miss Colley [the new governess] 'continues quite satisfactory'; still, thinks it will be a 'good thing' when Julian goes to school. They go north around the 13th Sept. They are currently reading Conrad's Victory aloud; 'a good story, but hardly one of his best'. Will write to his father at the end of the week.
