Trinity:- Addresses his mother first as 'Mama', then crosses this through and puts 'Matutchka'. Has 'spent a very uneventful week' and has 'nothing to report', except that he has bought a new suit which he hopes she will like. Muggins was in Cambridge yesterday 'to attend a dinner of some Conservative association, formed in imitation of the Eighty Club'; he said it was 'very dull and long', and that he left at 12, and it is said to have gone on for some time 'until the Hotel servant turned off the gas to make them go, and... to get to bed'. Muggins made Robert 'go and bathe at 9 in the morning today': Robert considers this to 'have been both a rash and a virtuous act'.

McTaggart is also up for the day; he has to be at home this term as 'his people have returned from New Zealand for the summer and he has to attend them, much to his annoyance - for he is not a dutyful [sic] son'. Kitson [Sydney or Robert?] is also here. Hopes C[harles] and G[eorge] will enjoy their play.
