Scope and content
The Shiffolds, Holmbury St. Mary, Dorking. - Thanks his father for his 'kindness' in paying the fifty pounds into his account. He and Bessie returned together last night, and are glad to be home again; they seem to have arrived 'together with the Spring, or rather just a day after it had come'. Bessie has much enjoyed her month in the Netherlands, and 'seems very well and cheerful'. Robert had an 'interesting three days in Edinburgh': the scene from his and Donald Tovey's opera 'went very well, and people seemed to like it'.
Julian comes home on the tenth, and Robert hopes 'to do some Latin with him again'; he 'seems to get on very well at Bedales'. Robert has been translating some of his 'favourite Theocritus Idylls'; also intends to translate 'XXI, 'The Fisherman', which they say is not by Theocritus', but which he has always liked since doing it 'in sixth form pupil-room [at Harrow] with Bowen'. Might make a book of these with some Latin translations.
