Scope and content
Wallington, Cambo, Northumberland. - Will give Robert thirty pounds for the carpet, and return it when he has a bigger house. Has been 'inking over' Macaulay's Theocritus and a volume of Cicero; has made a 'most divine emendation' of one of the scholia, and found an error in one of Robert's restorations. Will not go over the pencil notes now except with ink; will work through Macaulay's classics gradually. Thinks Cicero's best work 'splendid', and 'Macaulay never shows better than when annotating him'. The autumn colours are almost as fine as Robert's carpet. Charles has come to stay.
