Scope and content

Thinks it is 'charming', and he [possibly Elizabeth's brother in law Julius Röntgen?] has 'got the stress and accent of the English words remarkably well', but it is 'very [underlined] difficult. Suggests that the 'indeterminate triad' is over-used; gives the musical notation for this.
