Scope and content

Wallington, Cambo, Morpeth. - Glad Julian has returned 'in good heart'; Sir George has grandchildren all round him now 'waiting for the Verdict': Mary Caroline's degree result is due. Will be fascinating for Robert to supervise the production [at Cambridge Festival Theatre in November of his translation of Aeschylus's "Oresteia", by Terence Gray]. Asks if Robert and Elizabeth have a copy of the aerial photograph of Welcombe; is trying to find out the organisation or company from which it comes. Has been undergoing surgical treatment for four weeks and is not yet recovered; is 'much weakened'. Encloses his 'little correspondence with the "Sunday Times"'; most pleased that the newspapers noticed that [Sir Charles Wentworth] Dilke had refused to go to Dublin [as Chief Secretary for Ireland], and that it was like Sir George 'not to refer to it'; Dilke 'never got over it', and it was one reason people took his 'catastrophe so unsympathetically'.
