[On headed notepaper for 8 Grosvenor Crescent, S.W.]:- Was fifth again last Sunday; perhaps she has heard from Charlie's letter. The epigram has not yet been read out; thinks it will be tomorrow, as all the others were read out on Monday, but does not know whether his will be read out or not. Hopes his father is well. He himself is well, and has not had a cold or anything similar. Charlie came sixth in his form, 'which it is really higher than it seems' since at least three, if not five, of the boys above him are 'really in the upper sixth'. Charlie is competing in the second round of the reading prize this evening; does not know if he will get through or not. Is getting on very well with his own composition, which 'has to be shown up next Sunday week'.

It is very rainy today; the school match with the M[arylebone] C[ricket] C[lub] was not finished because of the weather. Thinks Charlie 'very nearly got his A in gymnastics'; will probably get it in a week or two. Robert has not yet 'gone in for [his] B'; does not think he will get it at once, but may do before the end of the term. Hopes Georgie is getting on all right and is well. Ducker [the swimming pool] opened today, but he will not go 'for some time'. [He and Charlie] went to tea with [J. W.?] Cunningham last Saturday.
