Harrow <1> the hill

My dear Father

I arrived here without any mischief on Wednesday, & am very comfortably established in my new room. On Thursday I got put down in the Philathletic games of cricket in which game I intend to play regularly this quarter. We also had a house game last night but it is still rather cold work. The money you gave me not only took me triumphantly to Harrow but enabled me to pay my cricket subscription of 16 shillings leaving me wherewithal to by a candlestick & candles & 4 shillings over.

I remain my dear Father
Your affecte Son

Charles Talbot

Notes:

1. Harrow School: WHFT attended from 1811–1815 and his son Charles from 1855-1859.
