Scope and content

Wallington, Cambo, Northumberland. - Glad that Robert found Julian 'so well and stout', and to hear about Aunt Annie [Philips]; as well as Robert's 'report about "darkling". His shoot yesterday was very disappointing; plenty of birds but they only got fifteen and Charles shot all day; once got thirty-nine in a day on the same day while shooting with Thornton [Trevelyan?]. They are waiting for six hundred Newcastle Liberals to arrive; will give lunch to fourteen of them 'of whom 4 are knights or baronets', but will 'take care not to give bite or sup otherwise' since 'the Dorsetshire petition... warns us that hosts must not be Guests' [a pun on Freddie Guest, unseated due to election irregularities by his constituency agent]. Impressed by Byron's 'courage in making "darkle" a verb. But he was an audacious aristocrat.'
