Thanks Poulton for his new book. ARW's new book -reviews and sales. More about his garden -his mania for alpine plants (especially the genus Primula). Birch's travels. Rothchild's butterfly collections at Tring. ARW has been ill with bowel troubles, eczema and "other incidents in old age". Details of his diet, the fact that his son is now an invalid and the trouble that he is having with servants so his wife and daughter are doing most of the work.

Summary:

About the drought and Poulton's visit. His alpine garden. Comments on his eczema "which has now developed into acute rheumatic gout in right shoulder and both hands, which renders the complex muscle motions used in dressing and undressing a succession of acute and often very painful twinges. By careful dieting it is getting slowly better.".
