Scope and content

The Shiffolds. - Apologises for not writing lately; is 'only just settled down at home'. Had to go to London on Tuesday and Wednesday. Julian returned to Bedales on Monday, seeming 'very well and cheerful'; Robert was glad to see him for a few days before he went back. Bessie seems well, and enjoyed her trip to the Netherlands, 'though it was a bit tiring seeing so many people in so short a time'.

Is 'very glad' he went to Greece, since he greatly enjoyed his walks in the countryside. Read 'Nicholson's book about Byron [Harold Nicolson's Byron: The Last Journey] and thought it very good'; it made him like Byron more. He 'took care to be out of the way of the Celebrations [of the centenary of Byron's death] and was walking in the Peloponnese at the time'.

Will write to his father soon. Will try to visit before his parents go North: will know in a few days when he can come, and write to fix dates then. Is sorry Pauline 'did not get through [to university?]: but the standard seems very high now, owing to the number of girls who want to get in. Three clever Bedales girls also failed'. Charles and Molly 'seemed very cheerful' when he saw them in London.
