Glad to hear Julian's birthday was so enjoyable; he should consider this 'a birthday letter' though it is ten days late, as 'since Einstein, Time is now known to be relative' and today may be his birthday 'in Sirius or ß Centauri'. Encloses "A Summer's Eve" by Michael Drayton [on a separate sheet] as a 'birthday poem'; discusses some points of vocabulary and grammar. Went with Elizabeth to see his translation of Aeschylus' "Agamemnon" acted by 'some Cambridge young men' [in Chiswick], which was interesting but 'they did not look much like old Greek heroes'. and Elizabeth thinks they should have been given 'bigger, bushier beards' and had muscles painted on their arms and legs. Wonders whether Julian will have to wear a beard as the King's guard in [Tagore's] "Cycle of Spring"; has the book and hopes that at the line 'What a poet writes, is not meant to have any sense' Julian will add that the poems of his 'Daddy, who is the best of poets... always have plenty of sense'. Elizabeth would like Julian to ask Miss [Isabel] Fry about his exact holiday dates and let her know, so she can plan the trip to the Netherlands.
