Wallington, Cambo, Morpeth. - Thanks Robert for his letter [12/370]; returns the enclosure about Theocritus "Idyll" VII [12/371]; discusses Robert's treatment of Macaulay's notes on the poet; much looking forward to Robert's book. It is 'very jolly' that Robert has been reading "Horace at Athens" with Julian; enjoyed writing it more than anything else, and it still 'reads like the quintessence of... the spirit of youth'. Notes in a postscript that he has decided to return Robert's letter as well.
