Northlands, Englefield Green. - Plans for the celebration of Donald [Tovey's] birthday: the orchestra and [Louis] Fleury are coming and Donald's [piano] concerto, a flute concerto 'and much else' will be performed. Invites the Trevelyans to stay for supper and for the night; will find them 'quarters at the Wheatsheaf'. Is 'terribly grieved' for Frances Dakyns [on the death of her father]. Asks how Johannes Röntgen is. Sends love to Julian: says she 'ought to have had at least one hundred babies to take care of'.
