Scope and content
He and Caroline are reading J. A. Symonds's letters aloud, which 'raise him exceedingly'; they like them much better than his books. Quotes at length and approvingly from a letter from Symonds to Henry Sidgwick, describing Euripides as 'a sort of divine Beaumont and Fletcher'. Glad to have a postcard from Elizabeth about her quiet crossing [to the Netherlands].
