1 item

Wallington, Cambo, Northumberland. - Robert's letter [46/101] came with 'the best piece of public news' he can remember: the settlement of the 'Russian business' [the Dogger Bank incident] is a great tribute to British power, good sense, and 'the estimation in which, after all her faults, [Britain] is regarded by the European community'. Glad Robert had such a good time with Caroline in London; very interested to hear about his play ["The Birth of Parsival"]. Agrees that [Turgenev's] "Dimitri Roudine" is 'an excellent whole'. Is expecting Caroline later today; the shooting party will be on Monday, 'buffers all, except for Charles'. Glad [Bertrand] Russell is getting on well with his work, though he will depend on Robert to explain it to him.
