Scope and content
The Shiffolds. - Came back from the Lake Hunt on Wednesday; it 'rained a great deal, and there was a lot of mist', but they still 'went out each day; and had some very good hunting'. Was 'very pleasant' to have George back, and 'young George for the first time', who 'distinguished himself by being faster than anyone else, and caught most of the hares'. This included Robert, though he had his revenge in catching him in turn 'by running him among some rocks'. The last day, he 'fell when just catching a hare (a civil servant from the Education Office)' and cut his hand rather badly; he is now writing with a bandage on, 'which makes calligraphy impossible'; it is now however healing well.
Spent a pleasant half-day at the Park on his way north, finding 'Aunt Annie very well and in good spirits'. Hopes his parents have both recovered from their journey; the weather here is still 'very bad'. Is going to the [Apostles] dinner next Thursday; George will preside and 'is sure to make a very good President'. Forster's new book Passage to India has come out; is just beginning it. Bessie has read it and found it 'very interesting'. Forster spent a year 'as political secretary to Rajput Maharajah of Dewas' three years ago' so 'he has lived a great deal among Indians'. Bessie sends love. They hope his parents 'found Booa [Mary Prestwich] fairly well'.
