| Reports his recent return from Rome, where his wife was nursing her sister Nelly. Expresses his delight (and that of his wife) at the news of HS's [honorary] fellowship at Trinity College. Explains that they are staying at Eton until the end of August and asks him whether he could come to see them at the end of his term. States that two things 'have given [him] great pleasure lately', one being 'the unmasking of Fremde in the papers, and the other being [ ]'s Wordsworth, which he just read., and which seems to him 'admirable as a piece of criticism'. |
