Wallington, Cambo, Morpeth. - Robert's news about the harvest is good; sees that there are 'half a million more acres of wheat in England this year', and about four hundred thousand more cattle and sheep; the pastures are 'extraordinarily abundant' after the rain which was so bad for the haymaking. Thanks for family news; thinks from what he saw of Miss Boucher [the governess] that she would be very good with Julian. Has finished reading [Cicero's] "Familiar Epistles" ["Epistulae ad Familiares"]; found the last few hundred, after the death of Caesar 'incomparably' interesting. Sends Robert a letter of his to the "Chronicle"; the editor had commissioned an interview with him but he thought it safer to write. The 'violent propaganda of the Yellow Press seems to have been discredited'. Is very anxious about Gallipoli, but Robert's impressions reassure him. Will send some game soon.
