The Shiffolds, Holmbury St. Mary, Dorking. - He and Bessie went up to London on Monday 'to see Julian off [to school]. He quite enjoyed his extra days at home', but Robert thinks this was needed, as 'he had been quite seedy'; thinks he was 'fairly all right again' when he went back. Robert's lumbago 'still linger, owing to this villainous damp weather', but there is not much left now, and Bessie is well. Had a 'glimpse of Charles in town'. Sad that Booa [Mary Prestwich] has been ill again; will write to her soon.

Nurse Godwin is here, and they are waiting for the arrival of Alice [Elms]' baby; 'She herself seems very well'. Robert found [Gordon] Bottomley 'in fairly good health, considering the horrid weather'. Robert 'arranged for the printing of... Aeschylus [his translation of the Oresteia] at Liverpool; hopes it will be out before Christmas.
