Scope and content

Thanks his mother for her letter. His leg is now all right, or 'at least playing football does not make it worse', so he should not feel it for more than a few days. Would like to go and see the Messiah on Tuesday very much, though Charlie does not seem interested 'unless it is the Handel festival' which Robert supposes it is not. Would not be worthwhile sending 'the pictures' as there is so little time.

Has found a boy who has a pair of dumb-bells he never uses, which suit Robert very well. Will bring back the Dante and the other Italian books. Would much like to see Mr Belfield again; might write to him if he had his address, but it 'does not much matter'. Does not mind about his father not coming to their house supper, as he can come another year, and 'it would be very nice for Charlie [if their father goes to his?]. Is sorry Charlie lost the house match, but 'they were quite as good as Welldon's [house]'. Trials began this week, and Robert is 'beginning to swot'. The holidays are now very close.
