Scope and content
Wallington, Cambo, Northumberland. - Sorry that the shooting has fallen through. The black cock [grouse] here were very bad this year, but they have enjoyed the shooting; they are now shooting rabbits, which have over-run the centre of the estate; will insist on them being 'greatly put down in the winter'. Will try and see the pictures at the Carfax Gallery. Mrs Young has sent 'some amusing college letters' from Sir George to her husband. Is interested by Robert's 'definite information' about the saying to seize Time, or 'occasion', by the forelock; expects it is not in Herodotus. Is reading of the war between Vitellius and Vespasian in the third book of [Tacitus's] "Histories": it 'implies such disorganisation of civil government' and 'licence and demoralisation' in the army that it 'immensely raises one's opinion of Vespasian'.
