Writes to wish her a happy birthday. Explains that he is very busy.

Reports that Arthur has just been to Cambridge, and that he is looking well and is in good spirits. Remarks that Rugby 'seems to have a very serene existence on the whole'. Was very shocked to hear of [the death of] Wyndham, and reports that L[ankester] spoke a little with Nora about it.
