Scope and content
Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - Thanks Robert for his 'jolly letter'; will re-read [Trollope's] "Framleigh Parsonage" [sic: "Framley..."] again soon, perhaps aloud to Caroline. They are currently alternating between "The Wreckers" [R. L. Stevenson and Lloyd Osbourne's "The Wrecker"?] and the "[Roman] Journal" of Gregorovius. Is himself reading Anatole France's "L'Orme du Mail", some of which he thinks as good as Balzac, just as aspects of "La Reine Pédauque" are 'like the best Voltaire'. In a postscript, says that he too voted for Jim Butler [for the Cambridge University constituency] but 'in such a General Election as this an "Independent" has no chance'.
