Wallington, Cambo, Morpeth. - Interested by Robert's letter about Theocritus; expects his feeling about the "Ptolemy" [Idyll XVII] is right and it will be enough to include Theocritus XIV, the "Thyonichus". Macaulay did not admire that Idyll, but Sir George has noted below his love for it, since the last twenty lines were set for his Classical Tripos, and that it is 'the most lifelike picture of unhappy love' he knows. Also copies out Macaulay's and his own comments on Idyll XVII.
