Scope and content
The Shiffolds, Holmbury St. Mary. - Thanks his father for the fifty pounds paid into Robert's account. Julian returned to school yesterday, and Bessie is on a brief visit to a friend near Marlborough. Robert is 'just starting for Berkhamsted, for a weekend with George and Janet. Julian 'seemed quite cheerful at going back to school, more so than in old days'.
They are very glad Sir George is 'so much better, and are able to go about as usual, and also to start on Thucydides again'. Diogenes Laertius 'has a certain interest, but there is a lot of legendary gossip in it'. Has got Meineke's Fragmenta Comicorum Graecorum from the London Library, and finds 'a great deal that is worth reading from Philemon, Alexis and others'. There is 'too much about cooks and guzzling, but that is because Athenaeus... quoted everything anybody ever wrote about cooks'. But Stobaeus chooses 'many really fine passages'.
