Summary
Enclosing a letter from Richard Horne, which he had sent with a bouquet of roses to thank EBB for reviewing his epic "Orion" in the Athenaeum (the Horne letter is no longer with the item); telling George that their uncle Robert Hedley has dined at Wimpole Street and that his son Robin may be going to Dresden with a traveling tutor, so that he isn't idle during the summer holidays; asking George to learn all he can about Tennyson from George Stovin Venables (another lawyer, and a friend of Tennyson's) and "prepare to be amusing when you come back--."
