Scope and content
Wallington, Cambo, Northumberland. - Will expect Edward on Monday; does not know whether he will make it to the station. Can supply a gun. Yesterday 'the Runcible one' [Walter Runciman?] shot eight ducks on one pond and he himself four at another; the other three had an average of two or three. They are going to 'play [rugby] footer this afternoon, to our hurt and undoing'; their opponents, from Capheaton, are 'said to be all very terrible devils'. He has therefore eaten 'the larger moiety of a great yellow treacle pudding to add to my weight, and put courage into my heart'; hopes his pudding will not 'gush out' under a blow as in a quote from Rabelais ["Gargantua and Pantagruel"].

Note
Pencil notes guess the date as 'October 1898' but since Edward Hodgkin was in Rome then (see 16/2) this seems unlikely.
