Bereik en inhoud
Trinity [on college notepaper]:- Thanks his mother for her letter. Charles left this morning 'like a giant refreshed with Cambridge', having stayed three nights. Robert 'sent back the Scotch paper' before receiving her leave to keep it, but had 'first learnt the quotation by heart'; can get it back later if she still has it. Will not be coming up to London for a while, as 'there is no [law?] term going on at present - not till March'. Has been 'losing other parts of [his] body besides [his] moustache', as he had two teeth out last Wednesday and another will have to follow by the end of the year; 'these operations will be final'.
He and Charles lunched with Aunt Margaret [Holland] last Wednesday, who seemed 'quite well, and just the same as ever'. Has no news to tell her from Cambridge. Is sorry about 'the fall of the beech': they will have to 'do a lot of planting in the interests of our descendants once the wood is cleared away'; supposes the wall has not yet been rebuilt.
