Scope and content
Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - Looking forward to a visit from Elizabeth next week; good to hear she is thinking about a trip to the Netherlands. Like Robert, has been reading Plato's "Republic"; 'heartily agrees' with his uncle [Macaulay]'s opinion that nothing in Greek philosophy surpasses the eighth book 'in profundity, ingenuity and eloquence'; also thinks the description of the Tyrannical Man in the ninth book 'beats all creation'. Asks to be kindly remembered to the Berensons.
