The first page has a mourning border. 'Saturday was the anniversary of the feast devoted to the memory of the founder, and the brothers, in health, feasted in the banquetting hall, and I dare say enjoyed themselves. I am on the sick list and was happily excused. I had my dinner in my own room, and, along with it, they sent me half a pint of good Port. To day there will be at seven o'clock a dinner in the same Hall, when the Governors and Master along with numerous nobility and men of importance will no doubt be present. To-day they have sent to me another extra dinner of good things & half a pint of Port.' He asks his correspondent about a reference to 'travellers', whom he guesses are or were bound for Italy.

One day when I first came here, seeing my bare oak boards, an old friend of mine, a country gentleman, went and ordered me at a warehouse a Brussels carpet so that the room now is more comfortable.' Discusses a promise made by Gye's father to supply him with shirts. He would like to hear news of Ernest, Lionel and Herbert. 'We can do whatever may be to our benefit. I may teach or write so as to increase my income. The translator of Dumas' works is here, and there are several other literary brothers, poets, &c.' In a postscript he says 'A hamper should always be sealed [underlined] with Wax. | My room is No 80 Cloisters. Mrs. Stone the Matron has her suite of rooms on the floor beneath me.'.…
