Scope and content
Announces that he will not be able to come down to visit her on the following Wednesday as he is to go to London on Thursday to have an operation on his teeth. Hopes to come down the same night, but states that he may have to wait until Friday. Refers to some Greek wine that belongs to him, and declares that he thinks that his host 'of the Grange [in Borrowdale]' has 'swindled [him] out of 2 bob.' Complains about how his dental problems have interfered with his study, and declares that the only thing he can do when his teeth ache is play chess. States that he is glad that [Edward Ashley?] Scott is going to be married again. Reports that he told their 'people' about [Robert?] Whitelaw 'and they said they feared he must be meditating something wild as he has manifested lately a marked disrespect for college institutions' [Robert Whitelaw married in Aug 1867; this could be a reference to his engagement].
