Brandon Street, Edinburgh - Is concerned to hear about Sir James' eyes; they will subscribe to five copies of the bibliography; they made an error sending revised proofs of 'Fear of the Dead' accompanied by the corrected slips, communicated this to Macmillan to put it right; Macmillan was not to blame.

Thanks his mother for her letter. Thinks Georgie has nearly recovered from his cold. Has received a letter from 'Grandpapa Philips', and will write to him today. There was meant to have been a [cricket] match with Bracknell last Thursday but it rained so they did not come; it also rained on Friday, so the match will now be next Monday. Robert is in the eleven, at square leg. Has not got a cover for his bat, but can 'easily' get one by sending the measurements. Does not think Georgie wants any paper, as Robert 'can rule the un-ruled paper' for him; Robert would like a few stamps, as he has not got many. Hopes 'Papa is nearly well, and will be able to come'.

Thanks WW for his book [probably 'Notes on the Oxford University Bill in Reference to the Colleges at Cambridge', 1854]: 'I find it exceedingly interesting'.
