Scope and content

On headed notepaper for Wallington, Cambo, Northumberland:- The 'ladies did not come yesterday', as they did not think the weather would be fine enough, so they are coming next Saturday. Mr Belfield went to Newcastle yesterday: 'if he thought he would escape this invasion, he will be disappointed'. Is 'very sorry to hear about Charlie': is 'very disappointing for him to come just at that time'. Hopes he will 'escape the mumps'. Suggests Charlie could come here 'to the convalescent home'.

Went to Capheaton lake last Friday, and Rothley before that. Booa and Spider are both well. Has just received the prolusiones [book of Cambridge prize poems], but what he was most interested in - Hubert's hexam[eter]s - were not there. Asks if Charlie will 'have his prize sent to him', or whether someone from his house collected it, as sometimes happens. Hopes his grandfather [Robert Needham Philips] is well.

Is getting on well with his work. Willoboy [Henry William Trevelyan? see 45/247] is here now; Robert is going to tea with him next Tuesday.
