Scope and content

On headed notepaper for the Harrow Philathletic Club, with 'The Grove, Harrow' added in Robert Trevelyan's hand:- Thanks his mother for her letter. Good that she did 'not come down' yesterday, as it 'rained a good deal'; today it is 'quite fine'. There have been two cases of German measles in his house, which has meant he has been able to 'find [? share] with Clive and not with Pope' for a while, since 'one of the invalids used to find with Clive'. Is glad of this, and 'hope[s] the boy may be ill for a long time'.

Georgie is well, and playing fives; Robert is glad of this, as it 'is a very good game'. Thanks his mother for the food: the 'sausages were a great success, and are as good cold as hot'. Asks her to thanks Booa (Mary Prestwich) for the parkin. Luckock is coming for tea this evening; he is in Welldon's house, but Robert knows nothing more about him.

Asks her to give leave for him to see Woodhouse [his dentist] for another hour next Thursday; had forgotten to tell her. Also asks for leave for 'a pair of cricket gloves and one canvass shirt'. The Gregory [prize text] is 'not out yet'; wishes it was. Hopes his father 'will not be tired on Wednesday', and that they [the Liberal Party?] 'do well at Leicester at all events'.
