Scope and content

Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - Robert and Elizabeth's letters give a good account of their local politics; [Oscar William] Bowen at Stratford is very different to 'our [Edward Ernest] Bowen'; will tell Robert about him in person; he is calling on them soon. Very interesting about the "Wasps" [the Cambridge Greek Play?]; thinks the parabases of Aristophanes should be as intelligible as 'Grossmith's hatter'. Interested by what Robert says about Jim Butler. Encloses a letter from Withers, whose bill he will pay when the business [arising from Florence Trevelyan's will] is completely settled. Heavy rain, so their walks are 'mere constitutionals'; the country will take 'a pretty big constitutional' [the General Election] next month, and they will help it all they can.
