Scope and content

[On headed notepaper for 8 Grosvenor Crescent, S.W.]:- Is getting on 'very well'. Has had a letter from Georgie, who also seems well. Went to 'ducker' [the swimming pool] on Friday and Saturday, and 'did not find it half so cold' as he expected. Went into the Grove this morning; a boy 'dropt his watch chain into the pond, and it sank into the mud' so Robert does not think he will get it back. A bench collapsed at dinner today: 'there was a crash, and several boys fell over onto the floor'. Went for a walk with Tomlin and Hicks this morning, and will walk with Charlie after school. His room is 'quite full of flies'.

Has paid his cricket subscription, 15 shillings, and another 'which all new boys pay'. His watch has come and 'goes well'. Adds a postscript to say that he will be 'placed next Sunday', and has got his 'blue coat and flannel trousers'.
