ABSTRACT
I heard from Cockerell & Walker that you were going to Kelmscott, though hardly did it seem to me you would face the weather: I believe, now the feat has been done, it was good for you. There could hardly be Jingos there – even in the Public house, though Giles may have expressed a wish to have a “shot at old Kruger”– as the French take newspaper bangs at our great Victoria.2
