Letter to Ruth Turner, written from Charterhouse School [Ruth was in Ireland with her family]
She must be in another continent at least as he had not yet received a letter from her.
His Form were dong a paper on the First Act of King Lear. He had been to a tennis party and dinner party at the Headmaster's House where Mrs Fletcher [wife of the Headmaster] had referred to Ruth as very pretty. Mrs Fletcher had asked about their arrangements for the future and what colour their rooms would be. Suggests they should be high toned and have an emerald, sapphire or amethyst room; or be romantic and have a room like Monte Cristo’s cave; or like the bottom of the sea; or, should he take Orders and adopt mid Victorian culture?
Had been to a dinner party at Prior’s Field with the Clutton-Brocks. Sets out his plans for the weekend.
