Scope and content
The Shiffolds. - Thanks his father for his letter, and also for the eighty pounds [allowance] paid into his account. Enjoyed his visit very much, and was glad to find his mother 'so well'. Has 'only been able to find one of the Maupassants', and seems to have lost the others. Sends one volume, in which La Ficelle, Deux Amis and La Parure are 'among his best'. Forgets about Yvette and La Papa de Simon. Is asking the London Library to send him two other volumes, and will send them on soon to his father if 'they seem to have some of his best work'.
Bessie is now in London, in 'her new room', and will return on Friday. Today Robert walked to Abinger, five miles, and back again, to lunch with E. M. Forster, so is 'quite tired and ready for bed'.
