Scope and content

Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - They are very interested in Robert's 'statistics of the Library'; he got 'a wonderful lot for the money' though it sounds expensive in francs. Asks if Robert remembers a story about an eighteenth century private tutor in Geneva writing to tell a London banker that his son was '10000 livres in debt'. Thinks of Robert 'constantly nowadays'. They have an 'extraordinary fortnight' ahead; will never forget the 'excitement' of reading the results of the London County Council election out to Caroline 'one Sunday morning'; will be something 'to open the newspaper on tomorrow'
