Winchester. - Has been to Winton House; the 'sick boy's name is Stratford, a Kent family. He is one of thirteen. None of his friends have been to see him yet'. Mr [Charles Alexander] Johns has taught four of the boy's older brothers. The boy is likely to be removed in a week for change. Not yet know when Greville returns.

Robert's friend Longman is the son of William Longman, of 36 Hyde Park Square and Ashlyns, Great Berkhampstead; two of his brothers have also been with Mr Johns and 'distinguished themselves at Harrow and Oxford' [Robert's son is likely to be Hubert Harry Longman, later made 1st Baronet, of Lavershot Hall]. Robert knows the Warburtons, but they are not in the same class, and do not live at Mr John's house but have been granted a special exception to go up daily to their lessons (their cousins are residents at WIlton House).

Is sorry to hear of 'Miss Florence's accident', and hopes she recovers quickly. The hotel is comfortable.
