Scope and content
Letter to Ruth Turner, written from Charterhouse School [Ruth was in Ireland with her family]
Regrets that she did not receive his long letter sent on Saturday. He was glad she went on her walk. Compared her 10 hour climb to a 15 hour climb in the Alps.
Explained what he meant when he said she was true.
The following day would be busy as he would have to take another master’s English class and still had scholarship papers to mark.
He ought to go to Mary's wedding [his sister] but it could be difficult leaving school. There was bad news in relation to a prospective house and hoped something else would turn up.
