The Shiffolds. - Thanks her for her letter. The weather has suddenly turned 'quite cold', though still fine. Bessie was going to London this morning, but has put it off till tomorrow since Clifford Allen, staying here with his fiancée was 'rather ill last night', though Robert thinks it is 'nothing serious'. He is 'generally much better, but is not at all strong yet'.
Had a 'quite cheerful letter' from Julian this morning, who seems to have liked the hamper Robert's mother sent him a great deal, and says he will write to her. Bessie 'enjoys her quartet in London, every Friday afternoon'; Robert usually comes to town for one or two nights. Visited [Harry] Norton at Penshurst last week; he 'seems a good deal better' and they hope he 'may get quite well before long. It has been a serious breakdown and melancholia, but nothing worse'. As she knows, Norton stayed with them at the Shiffolds 'all last winter', and went abroad with Robert last spring.
