Scope and content

Wallington, Cambo, Northumberland [headed paper, though the letter's contents suggest it is written from Glasgow]. - Hopes that Bob is comfortably settled by now. Has seen his letter to Caroline; wants him to write to him and tell him some of his impressions of Cambridge. Wants particularly to know what he will do about classics, who he will work with, and what he is reading. Is very busy; it is 'almost the first time' he has seen Glasgow in fine weather, and it is a 'wonderful city'. There is a great deal to say in public speeches at the moment. Asks Robert to write to him care of R[ichard] B[urdon] Haldane, Cloan Den, Auchterarder; this town is very famous in Scotland [for the case which led to the formation of the Free Church of Scotland?] and he wonders if Robert knows why.
