Pen Rose, Berkhamsted. - Calls Bessie a 'jolly wicked old thing' and says her letter made her laugh aloud. She was indeed 'movin' in the very 'ighest circles on Wednesday, velvet 'at and all' [at an event for the Evening Play Centres Fund]; says her attempt to curtsey to H.R.H. [Mary, Princess Royal] was a 'lamentable failure', as was her attempt to keep calling her 'Y.R.H'. The 'children's part of the show was really jolly', and as Bessie says these things have to be done 'to keep one's nose in front''; the 'City paid up like anything' after last year's show, when Janet 'only had a President of the B[oard] of E[ducation: Edward Wood]' but have not been so eager to contribute this time; they claim they fear 'the watchful eye of Mr Snowden [Chancellor of the Exchequer]' though 'all the knowing ones know' there is nothing to fear yet. Has had a 'Marconigram' from George; he is staying with President [Abbott Lawrence] Lovell at Harvard instead of at a club; '[j]olly for him to arrive in the middle of the oil [Teapot Dome] scandals!'; he is giving seven lectures and will earn 'quite a handsome sum', which will be useful with Mary at Somerville. She is 'radiantly happy there' and discovering 'all kinds of things, not [emphasised] all connected with Political Economy; she is working harder this term for her 'Pass Mods'; her first term was a 'mere whirl of delight'; they will then take a fortnight's holidays near Woody Bay in Devon. Humphry has a motor-bike, and sometimes takes 'rapturous rides on it on Sundays', but he does not ride it to school. Glad Julian is 'really happy at Bedale's'; hopes he will stop growing soon. Would love to lunch with Bessie in London at some point.

London, 14 Chester Sq. Thanks Whewell for his note, and informs him that the King of Saxony wishes to preserve the strictest incognito and will travel as the Count de Hohenstein; he therefore wishes to receive no more than a private reception.

Unfortunately the holidays are nearing their end. No doubt WW is already back at College - 'If so, will you ascend my staircase and see whether the painters have finished my room, and if not, urge them on'. JCH stayed at Hyde Hall when he left Cambridge: 'Being thrown more together with Sir John alone, I found more and more to admire in him'. Connop Thirlwall has resolved to come to Trinity College: 'I hope now a little more confidently, that we shall be able to do something in Cambridge for classical literature'.

The Master and his wife invite married undergraduates of Trinity to attend an 'at home' in the Lodge from 4 to 6 p.m. on the Saturdays from 10 to 31 May inclusive. 'Babies most welcome on the last two dates.'

(A printed card filled up by hand. Directed at the head to 'Mr. & Mrs. R. P. E. F. Hirsch.' The year is not stated on the card, but is clear from the days referred to.)

Baddesley Clinton, Knowle, Warwickshire. -Monographs revive happy memories; delightful gatherings at Houghton's breakfasts would be hard to repeat now; met Fanny Kemble again and remarked on how she stirred memories of old friends, [Fanny] said in her solemn... tone, 'Yes, I must remind you of a thousand Ghosts'. Solicits five shillings towards repairs to the Parish Church here.

Includes two silhouettes of Lady Elisabeth Bruce in her late teens, four photographs of her aged around 20 in India, and two which perhaps show her in her wedding dress in September 1898.
