Scope and content
[On headed notepaper for Wallington]:- Thanks his mother for her letter. Is sorry to report that they were 'beaten by Bozzies [Bosworth Smith's house?], 4 to 3, on Saturday', this was 'practically the cock-house-match', since though there are two more matches to be played, Bozzies 'are sure to win those'. It was a 'very close game'. The next torpids are likely to be on Thursday or Saturday.
Charlie told him that their mother had said they might come for an absit on Thursday, and Bowen says Robert may. Bowen also said Georgie 'has got through the first day in the history [scholarship examinations?]; Robert thinks he should have a chance. Is sorry to hear his grandfather [Robert Needham Philips?] is unwell, and hopes he gets better 'now the warm weather is coming'.
Only came seventh in his form this fortnight; now football is over he will have time to do his work 'more thoroughly, which is what [he] chiefly want[s]'. Charlie did 'very well' and came thirteenth; he came third among the new boys in the form. The 'earthquakes must have been very dreadful'. Thinks the house torpids will be on Tuesday next week; one of the boys from his house broke his collar-bone, like Charlie, and could not play.
