Henry Mordaunt Clavering to John Benn

On deaths from flu and various remedies he has been taking, and the suicide of St John Mildmay (financial difficulties). His grandson (son of his deceased son Rawden) has been staying. The school performed an extra night of the Play for Prince Albert, on his return to London...who gave them a extra week's holiday.

Henry Mordaunt Clavering to John Benn

On a particularly bad attack of indigestion. Received 2 tickets to the Phormio, which he gave to his doctor and his amanuensis. The Epilogue, a satire on the Chartists of the day, was received with much applause - will be published in The Times on the 19th. The last time he and JB saw the play was in 1779 - 2 lead characters, Dickens and Kelly, went to Oxford the following spring. Quotes a line referring to a set of gamblers known as blacklegs. Refers to Welch's List of the Scholars of Westminster School. Does JB exercise on horseback or on shanks' pony, as their schoolboy expression had it (NB very early use of this phrase)?
