Howtown, Ullswater. - Hopes the weather is better at Corby; thanks Hills for his hospitality. Myers' son 'is young & silent - but he is not insensitive or unresponsive inwardly!' The weather is 'too desperate', and they are returning south. Sends remembrances to the rest of the family.
Adds postscript with 'alphabetical rhyme' by Gurney, who 'made similar ones for all the zs in the language':
'The Advance of Free Thought | Apparently believers can't deny | Established faiths get half in jeopardy; | Kind hearted latitudinarians make | Near-sighted orthodoxies plainly quake; | Religion seems, - thus undogmatic, - vaster: | Witness Xenophanes, - yea, Zoroaster.'
