Scope and content
On embossed headed notepaper for Wallington, Cambo, Northumberland:- Thanks her for her letters and 'the Indian books'; found 'the epic... so interesting that [he] finished it directly', but the other one was 'more modern' and he does not care much for it. Hopes the London Library has another as good as the epic. Is 'getting on very well with Mr Belfield' and very much likes him; Belfield hurt his knee last Thursday but is better now, despite his fears that this might bring on once more 'a bad leg which he has had several times'. Robert played in a [cricket] match here yesterday; which was drawn in the home side's favour.
Is very glad Charlie has got the 'second prize', and he will be 'very pleased'; he also seems to be 'doing very well in cricket'. Has 'sent up [Kingsley's] Alton Lock[e]'. Hopes they [the Liberals] will win the Ayr election [by-election on the death of Liberal Unionist Richard F. F. Campbell], though supposes it 'is very doubtful'. Booa [Mary Prestwich] has been 'very busy this week', but Robert thinks she is well. Asks if Mr Brown has 'resigned quietly', as he has 'heard nothing here'. They [he and Mr Belfield?] have been fishing 'several times and caught next to nothing'
