Scope and Content [Sent from Devon, whilst John was staying with family there]. Telling Lilian about: a trip to the Valley of the Rocks, Lynton and Lynmouth in Uncle Herbert’s waggonette; celebrating [John’s cousin] Grace’s birthday; playing bagatelle; eating ice-cream; Duncan and Baby [John’s cousins?]; and that she shouldn’t bring the Firefly [boat] as there was nowhere to sail it. John also mentions that he is looking forward to seeing [Herbert Pendlebury], asks about her travel plans and for her to get either ‘Swallow’ or ‘People of the Mist’ [books by Henry Rider Haggard].
