Scope and content
Wallington, Cambo, Northumberland. - Sends a letter from [William] Everett who is 'always readable... abnormal in his intense old-fashioned conventionalism'; his 'unwillingness to express satisfaction in anything, and anybody, has a flavour of its own'. Elizabeth has sent them a good account of Paul. Politics 'extraordinarily interesting', with the 'moral and practical element' predominating, and a 'certain obscuration of the party element'. Has got Whistler's "The Gentle Art of Making Enemies" from the London Library; the title is 'revolting' but accurate, since Whistler continually had quarrels when 'a man of sense would have taken things quietly'; his way of writing to and about people is 'singularly offensive'.
