Scope and content
[on headed notepaper for 40 Ennismore Gardens]. Forgot to say that Sellar wrote to Robert at Wallington and thanked him for the book; he 'seemed to like it very much'. He 'got lower middle fourth at Eton which was good for him'; thinks Van de Weyer 'got in bottom of Eton which was very good for him'. A boy called Smith is 'very anxious to have a photograph' of Robert's father; Robert asks his mother to send one if one can be spared. Has 'got a new sort of caterpillar', which he cannot identify. They are studying Ovid and the fifth and sixth books of Caesar. Is in the first [form] for arithmetic and classics; has begun algebra and likes it 'very much'. Adds a postscript saying he has 'not got the paper of the procession'.
