Scope and content
Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - The increased subscription seems reasonable; has written to George and will see that both are paid soon. Interested to hear about Robert's 'Aeschylean work' [his translation of the "Oresteia"]; he himself is "Euripides-struck". Gives his schedule of winter reading of Euripides, Plautus and Plato; notes the coincidence that he began reading the "Phaedrus" for the first time the day after his uncle [Macaulay] died, and sixty two years later will begin it on the same day and date. Next Christmas, 'if I am alive', he plans to read four more plays of Euripides and the last four plays of Plautus.
