Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - Glad that Robert has returned well, and saw [Bernard] Berenson before leaving Italy. Good that Elizabeth is coming here next week; Caroline will be well enough to enjoy her visit then. Glad Julian has returned to school 'under good auspices'. Thanks Robert for his Menander, which 'interested, and taught' him, though he did not care for it, thinking it 'trivial and petty' compared with Plautus and Terence; the Romans 'must have lent their own vigour and force'. Never tires of Euripides; 'delighted' by his "Andromache" in the same way as by the "Hercules Furens", since he 'feels a sort of personal pride in his grand old men' like Peleus and Amphitryon who 'have kept their pluck, and power of righteous indignation'; will soon have read all nineteen of Euripides's plays.
