Scope and content

Thanks Sir George for his letter; in his 'very very old age' it is good to be 'so kindly thought of'. Sends "[Percy's Reliques of?] Ancient English Poetry" for Robert; hopes Sir George has the other volume containing "The Ballad of Chevy Chase"; this book was damaged in a boating expedition made by his brother Sir Charles, who was fond of it, many years ago. His wife [Maria] is well but not much younger than him, so they are glad to have 'a satisfactory lady' who reads to them. Sends best wishes to Sir George and his family. Includes in a postscript the news that his only grandson [Charles], John's son, has gained a scholarship at Wellington College and is doing well there.
