[On headed notepaper for Wallington, Cambo, Northumberland]: - He 'came out 3rd this fortnight. Giffard and Goetz were equal top', not many marks above him. Must try to come top next fortnight. Hopes Charlie will be well enough to return tomorrow. Is writing to 'Grandpapa' [Robert Needham Philips] today, and will write to Mr Arnold soon when he has time.

The house match against Weldon's will be soon; expects Weldon's will win but they 'have just a chance'. The weather has kept fine today; hopes there will be more fine weather. Had the 'house debater yesterday evening, and James and Clayton, who were for pigeon shooting' lost by three votes; it is 'great fun', and the next debate is on ghosts. Stephenson's father and one of his sisters visited, and Robert has just seen them. Got his 'verses finished all right'.
