Scope and Content Sent from the Foley Arms Hotel in Malvern [during a holiday]. Addressed “Wot cher Dad!!!”. John tells Herbert that there were two men there who spat on their hands when playing croquet, that it had been quiet as “her myrmidons” were not there, and that he was glad that someone else was “undergoing the torments of the “lingua Greecorum”.” John signs the letter “yours till death from your very most affectionate son with a lot of filial love etc.”
