Scope and content

Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - Received Robert and Mary's letters this morning. Will be 'greatly gratified' if the baby's second name is Otto; Julian is 'very nice', especially as Elizabeth likes it. Discusses the 'perhaps unexampled in England' connection between the Trevelyans and the name 'John'; this close connection may be a disadvantage as he trusts the boy will 'one day be a Philips'; though the Philips family do use John, the real family name is Robert; mentions Robert's 'kind grandfather' and great-grandfather, the 'most memorable personage in the family'. Inclines towards Julian; Julian Fane was 'a very ideal personage' of his youth, and he has a 'tenderness for the emperor Julian' though wishes he had been 'cleaner in his personal habits'.
