Box 1

"Your letter was forwarded to me at I Tallie[?], but I wanted to answer it till I got hom (which I did yesterday) to see whether the copy I had ordered for you of Po-Chii-I had arrived..."

"I hope you are going to come this way soon. Would you care to come on June 7th when Kelly and Tovey[?] are playing at a Schumann concert?..."

"It will be very jolly if you could come to Fidilio's[?]; Friday or Saturday would suit me equally well and I hope you will stay over Sunday..."

"It does tease- teases because there is so much good in it, such force and fire of mind, that I hate the harsh and rugged expression..."

"Thanks for the P.O. adr., and also for the books, which I like very much- it is in the best style of Po Chii..."

"Thank you very much for your kind letter. It is a very sad loss for us all, and although it had to come, we hoped that it might not be so soon. But she wished it..."

"The enclosed is from a loce of poetry in Oxford, the wife of professor Egerton, to whom I sent your book- I thought you might like to see it..."

"I am sorry that you are leaving the country for so long, but I have no doubt that you will enjoy circumnavigating this apple-shaped planet..."

"The [?] Wallast with the young muse are going to [?] St. Mary on Wednesday- address Pine Cottage..."

"I am afraid I shall be away next week- sorry. We are going down to move into our new house..."
