Scope and content
The White Gates, Westcott Road, Dorking. - Has spent his Christmas holidays [probably writing an English adaptation of Johannes Rontgen's "Het meezennestje", published as "Tom-tit's Nest" by Oxford University Press in 1938]. Very difficult, and 'only a very free adaptation is possible' to fit the notes; has not attempted rhyme. Welcomes suggestions; perhaps Bob would like to look at it. Discusses a few musical alterations he has had to make. Asks her to send it to Röntgen 'if & when' she can; his publishers may like to publish it, or if not they could try an English publisher.
