Scope and content

Wallington, Cambo, Morpeth. - Read Robert's letter to Caroline [16/6] with great interest; glad he is sailing with the Pentlands; remembers travelling to Southampton in early 1859 with his father, who was 'leaving England on the same errand' [going out as Governor of Madras like Lord Pentland]; comments on his father's 'avoidable catastrophe'. They will take good care of Elizabeth and Julian when Robert is away. Interested to hear about the Indian poet [Rabindranath Tagore]; wonders whether his plays are on modern themes. Pepys made a note about deciding a bet between two of his friends on whether a tragedy needed to be true; Pepys thought not and Dr Fuller agreed with him. He and Charles shot a hundred and one rabbits one morning recently, round Sir E[dward] Grey's covers.
