Letter to his mother

A.L.s., from St John's College

Describes a stay with the Master, during the annual meeting of the British Association for the promotion of science. Has been to dinners, speeches and other functions. Also has been to a number of musical events which are part of a Music Festival. Hopes to visit Ely Cathedral over the next few days. Is sorry to hear of the death of his cousin, Sarah. Notes the diminishing number of old College friends but also the fact there is enough of them to make the place feel like home. Has bought a shawl of Canton Crepe for his mother and a silk piece for his sister.
