1 item

Trinity [on college notepaper]:- Sees that his father is going to Edinburgh 'to be sworn into something'. Hopes 'all is going well with him in his office'; does not think 'the last election will have much effect, though of course it is bad'. Asks if she is coming South soon, as there is something he would like to ask her to do if she can: Charlie 'has left the books of the C[ambridge] Liberal Club', a list of members and a minute book, in London among his other books, and Robert does not think Anne would be able to find them if he asked since there are only two notebooks. If his mother is not to be in London soon, Robert will wait until he himself next comes up.

Is doing 'a good deal of work now, and getting ahead'. [H.W.?] O'Rorke is visiting for a day, before he 'starts on a journey round the world'. Robert has been to Harrow for Founder's Day, and 'had a good time'; G[eorgie] was well and 'playing footer remarkably well'. Robert 'sent off the plate' to London a while ago; supposes it arrived safely. Charlie seems to be 'enjoying himself', but is 'anxious to hear something about Cambridge'. Robert met G. [W. E.?] Russell at the [Trinity Master's] Lodge last Saturday.
