1 item

Trin[ity College] Cam[bridge]:- Is 'sorry to hear about Georgie's misfortune' and supposes 'gas did not agree with him'; will write to him soon. Is sending some 'old or temporarily valueless clo[th?]es' to London, to be kept at G[rosvenor] Crescent; some are Charlie's. Is 'clearing all rubbish' from his room. Has bought a new account book, and is recording accounts 'on a royal seale. {Receipts (Class I), Expenditure (Class I, Cheques), Receipts (Class II), Expenditure (class II, cash)}.

Is glad that there has been a complete thaw in Cambridge; the weather is now very good. Has 'read A's speech' and thinks it 'powerful'. Theodore L[lewelyn] D[avies] is 'looking rather ill, and has very sunken cheeks'; does not know what he has been doing. Wonders 'whether Charlie's season has begun'. Has just got a new book of selected 'speeches from the revolutionary orators' with an 'interesting introduction from Morse Stephens; much worth reading, particularly the Mirabeau. Is 'greatly annoyed by mice, and perhaps rats', and is 'thinking of making a complaint to the authorities'. Hopes his father is well. Does not think he can come on Monday: expects it will be Tuesday.
