Summary
Asking for information on the St. Andrew's examinations; saying "Are there any that my little girl of 13 might go in for? Alas, she does not know Latin - but I think working for an examination would help her to get what she does know into a more definite form. She is fond of Botany & knows French & German. I hope you enjoyed your time in the South - & that you are having this beautiful summer at St. Andrews."
