Books. "Tell Mama I shall have no objection to take the romances off her hands when I have room to put them in the library; neither at present would Tommy admit of any rival in his affections towards the "book about Charles", which he reads a little in every day and remembers tolerably well; has also begun to learn the figures wrote on a bit of card. Fred goes on with his syllables. They have stroked without being afraid 2 little terriers that Ralph Worsley has just got. Tom and Fred were this evening drawing chairs and sticks about the room, and said they were throwing earth into wheelbarrows; Mr Thomas really did it very handily; same cannot be said of Fred; they learnt this from workmen taking in the little grove into my garden. Joseph Yorke [i.e. Joseph Sydney]. Always thankful for French papers.
