Scope and content

Wallington, Cambo, Morpeth. - Glad Robert was interested in the ceremony at Cambo [the unveiling of the war memorial?]; there was a 'very imposing gathering of people', and he discovered a minute in that he should not be 'making a speech, but... preaching a sermon'; strange to 'preach one's first sermon at 82'. Good to hear about Bessie; hopes the Tanhurst concert went well. Has been looking through Paley's edition of Aeschylus, which he has thoroughly studied and annotated in the past; quotes some of Uncle Tom [Macaulay]'s comments on the plays of the "Oresteia". Will be grateful to [Harry?] Norton for his copy of Aksakoff. [Charles and Mary's son] Geoffrey Washington Trevelyan was registered today as 'born on the 4th July, having been born at 12.10 on the 5th, summer time'. Since Georgie was born on 5 November, the two boys 'were born on the two "Journées" of the Anglo-Saxon Race'.
