On headed notepaper for the Harrow Philathletic Club:- Apologises for being unable to promise to go for a walk with her on his half-holiday for the next two weeks, since there are matches on both the next Saturdays, so he must 'play in the sixth form game with a view to them'. Ought to see something of her, however, since they only play from 2.30 to 3.30; Georgie could be with her in the meantime. Any half holiday, Tuesday or another day, would do. They had a match on Saturday, but it was 'spoilt by the wind'.
Georgie is well; Robert thinks he is 'working all right'. Robert has 'got the new flannels but think[s] them rather ugly'. Hopes Charlie will 'get the declamation'; did not realise before that it was a competition for a prize; would like him to 'beat Muggins'. [F.C.?] Searle has 'recovered his voice, at least in part', and they are all 'very glad'. Saw Charlie last Tuesday after the match, and had a 'good talk' with him.
Hopes 'politics are going right'. Sees there is a 'revolution' in Chile. Is 'expecting news of a battle'. Bowen has 'bought a lot of lead soldiers for his form', but they are 'of a very inferior nature'. Robert is keeping well.
Adds a postscript to say that he has kept his 'accounts satisfactorily so far'; a subscription has 'reduced [his] finances' and he will need more money this week, but there is 'no hurry'.
