1 doc

On headed notepaper for the Harrow Philathletic Club, with 'The Grove' added in Robert Trevelyan's hand:- Has had a cold, which is almost better now; also hurt his shoulder in the match on Saturday, but that is getting better too, since it is 'only a bruise'. Georgie says he has recovered from his own cold as well, and will play in the 'torpids' tomorrow; he is not as good as Robert thought he would be, but that 'does not much matter'. He himself played in a 'very good match on Saturday', which they won, 'though the others were very strong'. Robert did better than he expected, which he is 'very glad' of, since it is his last match.

Is 'getting on all right' in his work. Hopes G[eorgie] will come first or second [in his form] next fortnight. 'Things do not seem as bad in politics as they were'. Little has happened here since he saw her. Is not yet sure whether he can come next Saturday: the Saturday after next he 'certainly could'. Asks how long the performances go on, as he is meant to be back by half past five, which means the five o' clock train; expects, however, that it would not matter if he were late. Thinks the next whole holiday is 'next Thurday week', but is unsure. Hopes his father is well, and that Sophie is 'not worse'.

Pencil note dating the letter to '[18]91'.
