House of Commons. - Went to Harrow for the Governors' meeting and the Contio [Latina] but had to leave before the 'spread'. The head of school, Pigou, belonged to the 'modern side', and his speech was 'rather matter of fact'. A new drawing school has been built next to the speechroom, which he rather liked. Asks how the country looks, whether there is water in the river and whether the hay making has begun. Is very busy, and worried about kept late due to the 'Scotch Rating bill' which is designed to apply 'the abominable system' which [the Liberals] have been opposing to Scotland. Mr [Edward?] Bowen and some boys are in the [Public] Gallery; fears they will find it slow but will go and see them. Hopes Bowen will come to Wallington.
