Scope and content
Trinity College - WW has not gone abroad and after 'dawdling' in various places he finds himself back at Trinity. He went to London and applied for a passport but with no definite plans to go abroad. He met Lady Malcolm and followed her back to Hyde Hall. He hopes to go back there: 'They talk of quitting the house in a week or so not to return - and I cannot but wish to take a conscious farewell of a place where I have been so nearly happy. - It is no one or two causes only that make me delight so much in being there, for I believe if one had nothing to do but to look at Kate [Kate Malcolm] it would be sufficient to make it a grateful state of feeling'. He gives RJ a recipe for horse radish sauce.
