Scope and content
Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - Thanks Robert for news of Julian [see 46/263]; good to hear of 'his town-planning, and writing the Records of his community' [the imaginary town of Hurtenham]. At Julian's age, he himself wrote 'a most elaborate, and carefully studied "Invasion of England" by the French in 1849, due to 'differences of opinion about Garibaldi and Rome'; these things are 'the essence of education'. Snowdrops beautiful. Read the death of Pentheus [in Euripides' "Bacchae"] yesterday, and soon will return to that of Nero in Suetonius. Asks to be remembered to Robert's host in Edinburgh [Donald Tovey].
