Enclosed a five-pound note, numbered as at the foot.¹ “Cavalry” is advancing; I have again found some nice material in Mommsen, Roman History (Hannibal’s cavalry). Unfortunately difficult to dig up anything on the Seven Years’ War.

You will have received the *Guardians* sent yesterday. They were the only ones containing Paris correspondences or anything more interesting.

In haste – it is half past seven – the boys are waiting for me to lock up.

Yours,
F.E.
