Scope and content

West Hackhurst, Abinger Hammer, Dorking. - Afraid he can't visit this week, though he would have liked to. Supposes she will not be driving in his direction tomorrow, when he will probably be around as his 'assignation isn't until the evening'. His main news is about Wallington, where he had three days 'most delightful visit'; '"Sir Charles" was awfully kind' and gave him a very interesting time, 'ending with a grand walk on the Roman Wall'.

Does not know how 'this pageant [England's Pleasant Land] will shape. The original lassoo was thrown by a gentleman in Dorking... but he seems to have turned into Mrs Sprigge. Perhaps all springes are really Spriggs'. Is going away on Saturday, probably until Wednesday; hopes they will meet then.
