Haus Schellenberg, Marburg a[n] d[er] Lahn. - Thanks Bessie for her letter, and is glad to think of Donald [Tovey] being with her; though really the Trevelyans 'ought all to be staying with him'. Is very anxious about the Symphony, which Donald does not mention; if he does not get it finished there will be 'a great chilling' of the interest of everyone who is looking forward to it, and the 'brain pressure on Donald' if he does not finish till the last minute is almost equally worrying. Also worried about his 'chase after the hedge blackberries' as he knows they are bad for him. Will be very glad to see him again, and [George] Henschel is looking forward to his arrival 'enormously'; Donald can stay on if it suits his work after she leaves. Hopes to be in England on the 16th or 17th.
