32 South St., Park Lane.- Condolences on the death of Lady Houghton. Wishes that [her sister] Florence could have seen more of her; knows 'how highly she valued her. (It was one of the many losses of her painful & secluded life). Some family news, including that her husband Harry is 'one of the slain [i.e. one of the Liberals to lose his seat at the General Election] - after 42 years of political life I an afraid he will feel the loss of it'. Florence and their mother are at Embley.

Claydon, Bucks. - Their friend [Rev. Charles William] Stubbs seeks Secretaryship of University College; his liberal views and interest in education; he is currently educating Sir John Strachey's son who would not work at Charterhouse. Invites Houghton to visit. Harry's sister [Emily Fremantle] is dying of cancer and Lady Sarah is apparently sinking.
