My dear Papa.
I leave here next Monday, & have taken my place for that day in a coach which runs from here to Weedon, where I meet one of the railroad trains. I wish you would send me some money, for I shall hardly have enough when I have paid what I owe here, for my journey. Mr. Vaughan wishes to know whether I am to continue reading with him next term; but he says that if I take him next term, I shall be obliged to continue him for the term after that, as he does not take pupils for the one without the other. Seymour one of my tutors pupils has just got the Balliol scholarship. I am afraid I cannot get you the newspaper in which Cotton’s letter is, as the one where I saw it belongs to the Union, where all the Newspapers are kept, but I will find out what day of the month the paper came out. The great quantity of rainy weather lately raised the Cam to a very great height, & I hear that at Eton they have been quite deluged, & the floods have been higher than they have been known for a long time. I see a good deal of Theodore Galton, he is a great speaker here in the Union. With best love to all
Believe me to remain
Your affectionate son,
M. P. W. Boulton.
