Scope and content
Has received Myers' letter: would much like to come and see him at Cheltenham. Is going to Rugby for a week, and must be in Cambridge from 1 October, 'partly for ladies' lectures, partly to catch zealous pupils who are to be examined in November, and dialectically improve them before term begins.' Read Myers' poem Ammergau, in Macmillan's Magazine: it did not please him quite as much as 'the Roman poem', but he liked the close exceedingly.
Returned from Germany earlier than he had intended because of the [Franco-Prussian] war. Declares that his sympathies have turned round lately: 'there is something almost attractive about French conceit' and the image of a victorious German is unappealing. Fears that they shall miss each other at Rugby, and mentions that he may go down there again for a day or two if he finds the time, but envisages that they shall meet 'in town'. Offers to introduce him to [R. H.] Hutton. Remarks that 'the Spectator is not particularly good to write for as the editors do so much themselves'. [Note in Myers' hand: 'I thought at that time of taking to writing reviews'.]
