Scope and content

The White Gates, Westcott Road, Dorking. - Apologises for keeping the [original] enclosure for so long; had no chance to look at it with a 'calm view' during [Leith Hill Music?] Festival time. 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.
