Scope and content
Wallington, Cambo, Morpeth. - Robert's poem certainly 'comes home': there is quite an alternation between 'detestable, and... depressing' weather and 'exhilarating days between'. Is going shooting for the last time this year, possibly his 'last in life'. Sorry Robert has had 'so much illness about'. Asks to be remembered to Mr and Mrs [Lascelles] Abercrombie. George's 'errand' [to Serbia] will bring anxiety to those at home, but the family 'never grudged going on service'. Has read the twenty-seventh book of Livy; discusses the article by [William?] Smith on Livy in the 'great three volume edition' of his biographies.
