Scope and content

[on headed notepaper for 40 Ennismore Gardens, SW]. Thanks his father for his 'Indian letter', which was 'very amusing'; will 'take great care of it'. One of the schoolmasters, Mr Shadwell, has been reading his father's 'life of Uncle Tom' [George Otto Trevelyan's Life and letters of Lord Macaulay], and wants to know what the saying which 'was too classical for reproduction in these pages' was in Macaulay's 'conversation with [Charles] Austin about college topics' (Vol 1 page 78). Adds a postscript that Mr Shadwell 'thinks it is the best book in the world, and does not ask for mere curiosity, but because he really wants to know'.
