Scope and content

The Grove, Harrow [on mourning notepaper]:- Thanks his mother for her letter; is glad they 'won Bristol so well' [the Bristol East by-election, 9 May, which resulted in a Liberal hold]. Is going to read his father's speech 'on "One Man"'; hopes Charlie will also 'make a good one'.

They have not had any cricket on the last two half-holidays due to the rain. [Austin?] Harrison says his father is going to ask Robert's father's advice about him staying; Robert hopes his father will advise that he should stay, since he 'like[s] him very much', finding him 'more interesting' than he thought at first, 'and even fond of reading, though not of working'. Harrison has 'promised to work very hard if he is allowed to stay'.

Robert will be very pleased to see his parents next Sunday. The rain has 'brought out every thing all at once' over the last few days. Little is going on at the moment, and it is 'rather dull'. Georgie is 'quite well, and will be placed today'.
