Scope and content
Reports that his 'fat friend the Vicar of Blandford [J. R. Quirke] has made himself a Brewer, and sent his son to Aldenham', and his [Paul's] tenant Mr Martin 'will most likely do so too'. Asks whether Sidgwick is coming to stay and gives details about his pupils' comings and goings. Announces that he may spend a few days at Croydon after Christmas. Reports that pupils are returning to him. Wishes that someone - Sidgwick or Martineau 'for Cookson has been really but a figure head' - should draw up reasons for the dissolution of the F[ree] C[hristian] U[nion]', and states that it is not too late as it does not dissolve until December. Refers to France and to his German and Prussian sympathies. Remarks that France 'is taking her undoubted success at Orleans so [ ] [ ] that even Gambretta is beginning to be once more respectable.'
