On headed notepaper for Wallington, Cambo, Northumberland:- Thanks his mother for the letters and the books: one, 'the life of C. looks very interesting', but the other 'the Indian, seems to be the same as he sent back a week ago'. Doesn't mind reading it again, as it was interesting, but hopes 'the library has got more than one Indian book'.
They went to Otterburn yesterday; did 'not find much to see, but of course there was plenty to imagine'; however, there was little time for that since they had to 'run 5 miles to Wedderburn to catch the train' to avoid having to 'bivouac for the night on the field of battle'. There is 'no 2nd Vol to Stanhope' here; asks her to bring it if she can find it. He and Booa thought the diary they gave to [Edward?] Keith 'looked rather small by the side of the beautiful book [they] gave to [John?] Thompson', so they have decided to try and find another botany book, which Robert will pay for. Does not know where to get it or what it should be, and asks his mother for advice. It is no good giving him the same one as Thompson, and 'the two volumed coloured one is not full enough'.
