Scope and content
Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - Has sent back the Chekhov; "Three Years" gives a better picture of the Russia 'of a semi-barbarous state' than anything else he has read: Dostoevesky does too much of this, and 'no nation of such a people as he draws them could have got on even as they did', while Tolstoy remains the aristocrat and Turgenev 'a sweet-natured gentleman'. Is sending a 'short correspondence' and cutting from the London "Guardian" telling of a pleasant thing which will has happened to him; younger people cannot understand 'what an Oriel [College, Oxford] fellowship used to mean'.
