Scope and content
Wallington, Cambo, Northumberland. - They have got Mary Howey to 'make over the quilt' to them; is now sending it to Elizabeth as a present from himself; knows she thought it pretty and agrees. A 'very large party' are coming next week; he and George are going out to shoot game for them. Has calculated the location of [Austen's] 'Highbury', in "Emma" from the clues in the novel. They are reading one of Bernard Shaw's old novels, which he learned the names of in "Who's Who"; no-one else has them, for "even Mrs Shaw only got them as a wedding present from a friend who had bound them up when they came out"
