Scope and content

Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - Unsurprising that Robert's letter has taken eight days to come from Pisa to Stratford, 'two places that existed before steam or triple Alliances were invented'. Living 'from hand to mouth' [because of strikes] in a situation which will soon become very serious. George and family are here; they cycled to Kenilworth yesterday, and Caroline takes them to Charlecote this afternoon. He is 'confined to the house' by a severe cold and 'general indisposition', which he believes has been brought on by 'the public dangers of the last fortnight' [the Irish War of Independence, coal strike and rationing]; cannot put thought of these aside having once served in government. Caroline has heard regularly from Elizabeth.
