Scope and content
18 Buccleuch Place, Edinburgh. - Warns Bessie to expect a large parcel in the post containing a Dutch folksong book which she expects Donald had from her. Her "Donald Tovey Rooms", as 'the young people who loved him' wished to have them called, are ready and look just as she wished. But she was allowed to have nothing of his to put in them, despite begging for the telescope she gave him and [Joseph] Joachim's presentation chair. Nor could she have any letters or papers 'from all the years of that so tragically fatal marriage', one of the Shetland wool cloaks she gave him. The rooms please the his pupils, however, and give her some peace. John [Wellcome Tovey] was prosecuting officer this morning, 'aged 22', at a court martial for drunkenness; is longing to see John.
