Meynell tells BR that Dora insists that the children are unhappy at Dartington and offers, as an alternative, that they do not return to Beacon Hill School, but rather to a day school, and split the weekends between herself and BR, suggesting Tomlinson's at Wimbledon. Meynell is unsure if Dora is painting an accurate picture regarding the children's attitudes towards Dartington and asks if he should ask them himself, as well for BR's attitude towards Tomlinson. "You will remember that I have always taken the line that if Dora suggested any alternative school it should be considered."
