The Shiffolds. - Thanks his mother for her letter; Bessie had to go to London on Tuesday as her tooth-ache worsened, but has not been troubled with it since. They are going to London on Tuesday with Johannes [Röntgen], who is going to see his fiancée [Julia Fentener van Vlissingen]; they will go to the Russian Ballet in the evening with Oswald Sickert and his wife, who are back from Spain. As Julian seems to be 'quite happy and getting on well [at school]' she will not visit him this week.
Hopes his mother's journey to Wallington will not be 'too uncomfortable'. Will write to his father soon. Bessie sends thanks for her letter, and 'for the French book, which she will read'. The weather is 'very lovely... not too hot. But the Country wants rain very badly'. Johannes' visit has been 'very pleasant, and it has been good for Bessie to have someone to talk Dutch to, and to play music with'. He returns with his fiancée in August. Donald Tovey has 'not appeared again', nor have they heard 'how things are with him'.
