Scope and content
Northlands, Englefield Green, Surrey. - Very pleased that Donald [Tovey] can stay with the Trevelyans; describes his habits and diet at length. Asks if they will 'hale him away from Mrs [Ellen] Joachim's' after his time there; hopes he will go to Mrs Freshfield after seeing the Trevelyans, as 'there house is splendidly high up and she will look after him'. Donald has just gone out 'abashed and mournful' to apologise to one of his best friends for forgetting to go to his wedding. Hopes Bösendorfer will send the piano quickly and that Bessie likes it; tells her not to let it get damp or stand in a draught or suffer extreme changes of temperature. Bessie should get Donald to play her the Brahms Violin Concerto frequently, which he does very well and will encourage Bessie to learn it if she has not already. In a postscript, writes out the places Donald will be while she is at Nauheim and says she will ask every one how he is doing or she will have no peace.
