Scope and content

On headed notepaper for Wallington, Cambo, Northumberland:- Thanks his mother for her present: has 'read it a great deal' and likes it a lot. They went to Rothbury yesterday; walking from Rothley and returning by train. They could not get into Cragside [home of William Armstrong, 1st Baron Armstrong], as 'it was not the day', but 'looked at it from a distance'. Has done lots of fishing in the ponds for tench, carp, and roach; also caught a 'big trout in the semi-circular pond'; there is now 'no fishing in the river'. Spider is well. Likes 'the new dog very much, though he is very ugly'.

Saw a telegram in a shop window at Rothbury with the result of the Thanet election [by-election after the death of Edward King-Harman]; supposes they [the Liberals] 'could not possibly have won'. Booa [Mary Prestwich] is returning Georgie's letter, which was 'very amusing'. Is sorry to hear his father is unwell, and hopes it will not last.
