Has come '4th this fortnight'; Gifford [Giffard?] was 1st. Will try to do better next fortnight; thinks he will be able to now he 'thoroughly know[s] the form'. Charlie 'has not been placed yet'. The 'torpid matches are next Tuesday week' so if convenient she should not come on that day as he would not be able to see much of his. His house 'have a good chance of being cock-house', since they have beaten Haywards and Skipper's, who were considered best. He and Charlie are 'quite well'; hopes his father is. Will write to Georgie soon for his birthday; hopes he is' getting on well in his new form'. The Salvation Army come to Harrow, and 'have meetings in front of Clarke's house'; the boys there 'threw water and other missiles at them, until Vanity [Watson] stopped them'. The weather has been 'very cold' and 'freezing rather hard'.
