Scope and content

Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - Begins the letter with a quote from an original version of the British national anthem: 'God bless Great George, our King!', since it is the birthday of 'a less mischievous monarch [George V] than was born tomorrow [George III]'. Likes to think of Elizabeth and Julian in a house where he expects they will be as happy as she kindly says they were at Welcombe; he and Caroline miss them both very much. Glad that Aunt Annie liked his speech; will always 'connect it with [Elizabeth's] presence'; originally encloses a 'photograph of the scene', and a picture card of a ward. The wards are all full now; will visit them soon. Thanks Elizabeth and Annie for asking, and his cold is quite better. Notes in a postscript that a figure [in the photograph] is Canon Melville.
