Scope and Content Sent from Culver House [D], Winchester College. About arrangements for her visiting, telling her that he looked awful in [the house team photograph] and about his position at the school (in “Upper”, Second Table, Davidson’s division, in his old place in Chantry), other pupils with him and listing the prefects. John also lists his “sweats” [chores] and authors that they were reading, explains that they had not had “cuse” yet, discusses his sporting activity (cricket, that he had not played fives yet, and that Garner’s hole was not open for swimming), and tells her that he is going to tea with Canon Smith.
