Scope and Content Sent from Winchester College. The letter from the College is about the summer holidays and an outbreak of fever in the school. John writes that the College lost a boat race to Westminster [College], that he had “put up the mugging” [trim decorating his toye in the mugging hall], had been chasing butterflies and liked a frame she gave him for a photograph of his grandfather. Also includes an invented short dialogue about the devil being everywhere.
