Scope and content
[on headed notepaper for 40 Ennismore Gardens, SW]. Writes to congratulate his father 'on the passing of the County Franchise' [the Third Reform Act]; hopes 'the Lords will not kick it out'. They will finish reading Livy soon, then thinks they will go on to study Ovid and Caesar. There was a 'great thunderstorm' this morning, which has now stopped'. The school played Farnborough last Saturday but 'were utterly thrashed'. Charlie says he can now swim twenty yards after six lessons, 'which is very good'. The school will play 'Hartley-Row' on Wednesday, the picnic is on Thursday, and there will be lots more matches later. Asks his father to thank his mother for her letter; he is getting on well.
