Wallington, Cambo, Morpeth. - Thanks Robert for "Thamyris [or, Is There a Future for Poetry?]"; had not remembered Sicket's [sic; Oswald Sickert] death, which must have been a 'very real loss' to Robert. Has read the allusions to and quotations of Macaulay in [Robert's translation of] "Theocritus". Much appreciated Robert's birthday letter. He and Caroline are 'as fortunately situated as people of [their] time of life can be, and [they] fully appreciate it'; great age is very different to what is anticipated, as one 'feels like the same person as ever, in a body that every week seems less and less to belong to one'. Does not 'believe, or wish to believe, in its [emphasised] resurrection"'. Postscript saying it is 'very interesting having a Kingsman in the family' [was there a prospect of George Lowthian going to King's College, Cambridge rather than Trinity as he eventually did?].
