Scope and content
Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - Having a very pleasant visit from Elizabeth, who much enjoyed "She Stoops to Conquer" [at the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre, Stratford?]. It was a 'maxim' in the family seventy or eighty years ago that [Goldsmith's] "The Good-Natur'd Man' was a particularly good 'reading' play; must read it again. Has been reading [Cicero's] treatises on oratory, which are 'marvellous'.
