Scope and content
This can only be a "rotten little note". Has been very busy and his work is "devouring". London is suddenly in midmost spring. Discusses his social life. Has seen the most "splendid, tempestuous" performance of King Lear. Has been reading Ma's Dickens MS and is very impressed by it. Dined the other night with Daniel Sykes who lives opposite Battersea Park. The young man who lives with him was "poisonously rude". Asks for a letter from Chungking. Discusses Clarissa and Alice.
