Haus Schellenberg, Marburg a[n] d[er] Lahn. - Thanks Bessie for her letter; Donald [Tovey] is often hard to live with, but it is worse to be apart from him. Both a 'mercy and a wonder' that she does not 'thoroughly hate Ariadne ["The Bride of Dionysus"] and all her family', the Trevelyans included. Has to hide all anxiety about Donald's symphony; hopes it will all 'suddenly go down on paper' but dreads 'the overstrain' and the 'horrible consequences... the meddling friends and all the wretchedness we have had before' if it does not; still six weeks for it to be written. Has to go to Berlin on Friday, and gives her address there; intends to leave on Sunday in a sleeping car and travel via Flushing [Vlissingen] to '"arrive with God" as Frau Schumann telegraphed to Chappell' at Victoria Sation at 7.34. Would very much like to be met by Donald, and asks Bessie to tell him.
