Scope and content

Announces that he is to stay at least a day in Cambridge after his stay in London, and mentions the 26th [Jan] as a date for his visit to Minnie. Refers to what he said about the note by Mrs Wickham [Agnes Wickham, daughter of W. E. Gladstone? See 105/2] about his fiancée whose defects, he claims, 'are purely negative'. States that he 'cannot even imagine her doing anything wrong.' Remarks that 'her family are rather intimate with the Gladstones', and that 'the house in Carlton Gardens is let to THE PEOPLE'S WILLIAM [Gladstone] for the months of Feb[ruary] and March.'
