Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - Likes Robert's account of the hunt [see 46/202]; comments on 'heredity', and there being a Cadbury on the hunt [Laurence John Cadbury?]; compares it to the two 'members of the eleven at Harrow' writing home that there was a young Trevelyan who 'played up'. Interested to hear about Aunt Annie [Philips] who 'does too much', like 'dear Booa' [Mary Prestwich] who has been very unwell; they have got a nurse for her. Has been reading [Frances] Lady Shelley's diary, published by John Murray, which has the 'pleasantest' and he expects truest picture of Wellington at the 'height of his career'. They have been reading the life of Ruskin by [Edward Tyas] Cook; not sure why it has not been more highly praised, unless it is that Ruskin's 'inordinate mass of writing, extraordinary want of self-control, and his ravings about myths and etymologies' tire ordinary readers more than they do Sir George.

The Park, Prestwich, Manchester. - Is staying here for a weekend on his way home; Aunt Annie has a 'bad cold' and does not well, but he thinks the cold is getting better and she will 'have a quieter time now than she has had for the last few weeks'. They have had a 'very successful Hunt', with fine weather most of the time, and 'some good runs each day'. Charles seemed very well, though 'was careful about going down hill too fast'; he and George seemed very cheerful, and 'Molly kept us all very lively in the evening'. Robert 'was hare twice, and was caught twice each day', though he 'gave them two very good runs'. A 'young Cadbury, fresh from Cambridge [Laurence John Cadbury?]' came for the first time and 'is quite an acquisition, as he is a great runner, and also a thoughtful and interesting young man'.

Thanks his father for sending Charles Adams' letter [originally sent with 12/194]; his brother [Henry]'s illness is 'very unfortunate', but it looks as if he will fully recover; 'had no idea' that Adams was so old. Is just going out to call on 'old Mr [Edward?] Broadfield, whom Aunt Annie tells me I shall probably find in bed' though happy to talk; will go to London tomorrow, and home on Tuesday, since Bessie does not want him back till then as their 'domestic changes [the replacement of the Enticknaps, cook/housekeeper and gardener at the Shiffolds, with the Elmses] will not be completed until then'. She and Julian seem to be very well. Aunt Annie joins with him in sending love to his parents.

Includes correspondence with Edward, Laurence John and Henry Tylor Cadbury.

Has just returned from the Lake Hunt, 'stiff, but not crippled': describes some events of the three days of hunting, including being a hare on Sunday, when he 'enticed 3 hounds up Kirkfell (nearly 3000 feet)'; draws a map [on the last page] to illustrate his capture by hounds including Charles and young George. Was driven to catch his train by [Laurence John?] Cadbury 'who makes cocoa' in 'a care that looks as if it were made of silver'; the roads were 'full of Whitsuntide motors' but Cadbury 'drives very skilfully' and, passing the cars and charabancs where he could, sometimes went up to 80 miles an hour by the speedometer when the road was clear. Has almost recovered from the 'stiffness' caused by the Hunt. The Sangers and Dorothy Reece [later Dorothy Archibald] have been visiting; Mrs Sanger is still here, until Monday, when [Goldsworthy Lowes] Dickinson is visiting. Elizabeth went up to London with Mr Sanger and Daphne to see Wagner's "Meistersinger", and returns tonight. The 'Exhibition has been demolished' after 'enormous' crowds in its last days, including 'the chairman of the I[ndependent] L[abour] P[arty: Clifford Allen], the ex-President of the Board of Works, the King, the Prince of Wales in Ivel cheese, and several distinguished literary personages.' Hopes Julian is enjoying bathing.
