Scope and content

The Shiffolds,. - He and Bessie are very glad that his mother is better; good that the weather is 'still so kindly' since she will be able to go out. Julian came home on Friday; he 'seems to have done quite well this term, and his reports are good'. He also seems 'well and cheerful'. Robert does 'Latin and English reading for an hour or so each morning'; Julian is 'quite good at Latin, considering he did very little at school'.

Bessie says Robert's mother has sent him a 'diary or pocket-book'; thanks her, and is sure it will be very useful. Hopes his Aeschylus [his translation of the Oresteia] will arrive for his parents soon. Asks if she has read Percy Lubbock's Earlham; he and Bessie 'find it rather interesting, and very well-written. There is no story, which makes it rather slow'. Could lend it to her when he has finished. Bessie is well, and 'glad to get back'. Thanks his mother for sending 'the English Association papers', several of which he found very interesting. If more come, would 'always be glad to see them'.
