Scope and content

The Shiffolds, Holmbury St. Mary, Dorking. - Thanks his parents for their 'great kindness' in making Robert and Bessie a present [of fifty pounds, see 11/197] on their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. Would like to thank them even more for 'the never-failing affection and kindness' they have always shown her. Believes Bessie has written already.

Saw Charles and George at the Lake Hunt; 'Young George [Charles's son] was once again more ποδάρκης [swift-footed; Homeric epithet for Achilles] than most or all of us, and Saturday may be said to have been his ἀριστεία [the hero's finest moment], he being uncaught when the day closed'.

Bessie has gone to London for the night, having been given a ticket for tonight's opera [Wagner's Meistersinger, see 15/36]. Julian 'writes cheerfully' from Bedales.
