Scope and content
Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - Very pleased about Julian [that the operation on an umbilical hernia has gone well]. They had a very pleasant visit from Geoffrey [Young] who told them all about Robert and Charles; most interesting meeting him 'after his experiences of the last 18 months' [with the Friends' ambulance unit]. The Master [of Trinity, Henry Montagu Butler] has let them see 'two most bright and ideal letters from [his sons] Gordon and Jim about the evacuation of Gallipoli and their voyages'; compares them to 'young Athenian hoplites at Potidaea in the great days of Athens'; 'But nothing is too rare and good to be spent in the service of the country'.
