Scope and content
The Shiffolds. - Thanks his father for his letter and for his 'kindness' in paying the fifty pounds into Robert's account. Is glad his father thought he had done the right thing with the Macaulay notes [on Theocritus]; has now sent in the manuscript and the book will appear soon after Christmas. Will send his father a copy. It will be 'beautifully printed, costing a guinea'; is sorry it will be so expensive, but 'the publishers [the Casanova Society] talk of a cheap edition later on'. Hopes to send his father his translation of Antigone before Christmas; this will be 'quite a cheap book, brought out by the Liverpool University Press'
The New Statesman has been writing about 'that anonymous story about the Prince of Monaco [
The Fall of Prince Florestan of Monaco, originally published in 1874]', which Robert 'always thought was written by Sir Charles Dilke', though the New Statesman seems not to know the author. Is 'almost sure' his father told him that Dilke wrote it.
As his father will have head, Julian has 'cut his knee with a stick, and so cannot go back to school till Wednesday'; there is nothing else wrong with him.
