Thanks his father for his letter. Is very glad that he has left Ireland and that the family will not go there at Christmas; is also glad his father is in the cabinet [as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lanchester]. Is sending the paper [the school newspaper] for this fortnight, which has the continuation of his story in it. The Eton match is on Tuesday, and twelve Eton boys as well as three from Winchester coming; the three from Winchester are S. West ma[jor], Napier mi[nor] and Douglas major. Holt wrote the story called 'A Midnight Adventure'. Is getting on well with his work; they are studying Ovid and Caesar. Is also doing some 'stories in Attic Greek' which are very interesting. Asks his father if he could send him, if he has time this term 'a short description as it used to be 20 or 30 years ago'; thinks Tomlin major is going to send a 'description of it as it is now' and it would be good to have the comparison.
