Scope and content

Ivy Holt, Dorking. - The book [Trevelyan's "Polyphemus and Other Poems"] is 'disgusting' and Johnson is to blame for the poor quality reproduction of Fry's illustrations: vows to cut the blocks and oversee the printing himself next time. Helen has taken Julian to Failand and he is staying on a few days to finish a Band of Hope banner for the Hodgkins [his relatives] at Lowick; thinks this is the best thing he's ever done and wishes he could get more work 'on this level of fine decoration' as he loves working within the limits imposed. His watercolours have been successful: three other people tried to buy the Chantilly after Trevelyan. Wishes Trevelyan a happy Christmas and envies him being out of England for it: perhaps they should all spend a winter at Ravello together.
