Scope and content

Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - Robert's Christmas letter 'warmed [their] hearts' on such a cold morning. Interested to hear about 'Julian's happy industries over his drawings and paintings'; very much liked his black and white drawing for Aunt Annie [Philips] and the 'bold, cheerful, landscape' he sent to Caroline. Thinks Julian and Pauline's artistic powers come through Caroline, since he himself has none, though he tried art 'eagerly and laboriously when young'; he is likewise un-musical and has no concept of mathematics or linguistic ability. Elizabeth has her 'full share' of all these things. Sends good wishes for the new year; is instructing Drummond to pay twenty five pounds into her account for Julian's school fees, and will do the same in the Easter holidays.
