From A. T. Myers to Horace Darwin [18 November 1872]

Dear Bounder

I was so sorry to hear Malvern was not doing you much good: I hope that is all changed now, and your dinner companions likewise   we had a most excellent Stanton festival, F.D, Gurney Prothero Mole etc in A, form. Farmer also was up: I talked more or less 15 hours on end that Sunday to ab^t. 30 different people, and this Sunday e has been up & things have been lively also. Jebb tells me an excellent story of the Poll mind—some Poll man complaining of his college tutor says—ah, yes he only tells you what this man thinks, or what that man thinks, but the Big Un tells you what it is.

Trotter occupied himself for $\frac{1}{2}$ hr. the other night in Jackson’s rooms trying to crowd himself up into the smallest space possible by crouching forwards & putting his hands on his heels, the poⁿ. Jackson said he found he nat^{ly adopted at Fives when getting out of the way. Coutts was quaint beyond words   Everyone asks me after you & sends their love. When do you come back}

Ever y^rs | A.T.M.
