Scope and content

Trinity, Cambridge [on college notepaper]:- Thanks his mother for her letter. Is glad that Charlie is well and returning tomorrow; his 'Tripos [result] is published next Wednesday'. Robert finished his 'Mays' last Friday; does not think he has done very well in all of them, though has 'done some of the subjects carefully'. He and his friends have decided to go to 'a place called Seatoller... in the centre of the Lakes'. [Robin?] Mayor will 'come and coach for the last three weeks'.

[Arthur?] George Peel is in Cambridge, and Robert has just given him lunch; Muggins has also been here for most of the week. The [boat] races are taking place, and 'there is great excitement' about whether '1st Trinity will bump the Hall and become head of the river'. The Duke [of Devonshire] has been here to be installed [as Chancellor of the University]; he 'looks very wicked'. Morley, Chamberlain, Roby and Webster are here as well to take honorary degrees. Hopes his father is well, and that 'everything is going well in Northumberland' [for the general election?].

Adds a postscript saying that he expects to go down next Thursday, possibly Wednesday; is sorry his mother cannot go to Welcombe.
