Godalming,

Sunday Morn^g. [1889]¹

My dear Violet²

I have just finished the last Exam. Paper³ — rather quicker than normal as they are the worst lot I ever had — but not many very amusing answers. I enclose you one or two short ones. I send you a P. Order for 10/6 for the Exam. fee. I did not know you had to pay it so long in advance. I will of course pay all your [illeg.] College Expenses. The £.20 is to cover all your personal expenses. I cannot send you Willies⁴ book. [2] I believe you can get a copy of the Ingoldsby Legends for ^s1/- I send you a few Land Natⁿ. papers for you to make converts with, but do not read them yourself till you have passed your Exam. Any spare time you have give to out-door exercise.

I send you some more Zoo. tickets for next Sunday in case any of your friends like to go. There have been a few reviews of my books, all good, but not many yet.

[3] I send you one from the "Saturday Preview"⁴ which please return. It is a sample of the others. Our Annual Meeting of the L.N. Society⁴ is on Thursday week, so I shall be pretty busy that week as we must move either Friday or Monday.
