Item 128 - Letter from Thomas Thorp

4 pp.

Glenhindy, Scotland - Any hopes TT has of 'opening my books' will depend upon him reaching Cambridge, 'and placing myself under the strict surveillance of such friends as Sheepshanks [Richard Sheepshanks] and yourself'. TT 'could not have come to a better place for misspending my time: for all the amusements and occupations of this hardy race lie out of doors'. He has not had any luck with the 'Highland Lasses' and has spent most of his time hunting.
