He asks Streatfeild to advise him in a matter 'which speaks for itself'. He reports that 'poor Lady Elgar is greatly distressed and not without reason at the treatment of the two great oratorios'. Phillips does not 'quite see what is to be done in the way of protest', although he finds that the 'statement that they "fail with audiences &c" is certainly false in fact, [last three words underlined] and therefore almost libellous'. Phillips considers 'the rest [] a matter of opinion. Perhaps even more false and absurd is the statement, or opinion, that they appeal only to the intellect.

Phillips ends by apologising for bothering Streatfeild, and asks in a postscript, 'How are you?'.
