Wallington, Cambo, Morpeth. - Asks Robert to look at the catalogue enclosed and share anything he knows about the Meryon and Whistler publications; Campbell Dodgson 'is a high authority'; Robert's friend [Laurence Binyon] might tell him something; cannot write to his 'particular friend' Kenyon about the books of a colleague. 'A Prince Conti of Volaterra' [sic: Piero Gineri Conti?] a 'very imposing and attractive Italian' was brought for a visit by Sir Charles Parson, and much struck by the Trevelyans’ Francia, which he recognised 'with real emotion as an Italian masterpiece'.

Wallington, Cambo, Morpeth. - Thanks Robert for letting him see Julian's book, and for the 'very interesting [Henry?] James article enclosed in it'. Has written to Birmingham for the 'large volume of Meryon' [see 12/342]; doubts he will get the Whistler but would like to hear about it.
