Scope and content
Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - Sends Robert and Elizabeth an extract from the Stratford paper; 'it was a difficult and critical matter, well and pleasantly settled'. Caroline is 'less well and strong'; he himself has 'more business and correspondence' than suits him, but thinks he has a 'certain toughness' which keeps him in better health than she enjoys. Thanks Robert for his [translation of Sophocles's] "Antigone"; has read the preface with interest. It is a 'tribute' to Jane Austen that he 'can neither accede to, or question' Robert and Elizabeth's view of "Persuasion" as her best. Much liked hearing about Julian, and looks forward to seeing them in January.
