Scope and content
Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - They are in 'the full Saturnalia'; likes such 'famous anniversaries'; discusses the Roman festival. Has now read through Martial again, 'almost certainly for the last time', and is struck by the 'blackguardism' of much of it compared with Horace and Catullus, though there are 'occasionally exquisite little poems' throughout and the 21th book, written in Spain, is 'far freer from faults, and richer in beauties'; thinks his new wife must have been a good influence, and that he really liked Spain. Very satisfactory about Julian.
