Item A22 - Autograph letter signed

Went for a walk after breakfast and was passed by the Prince of Wales and his son out driving. Would have written earlier but has to go to a meeting, open to the whole University, to discuss 'something the 2 football captains had done'. This was attended by 1165 people and ended in a triumph for the football men over the boating authorities. Is pleased the telephone is working and offers advice as to how it could work better. Was interested in hearing a sermon by a Dr Martineau, has had his photograph taken with the football XI and is due to have his own portrait taken. Discusses a health check he has undertaken. Has been wasting his time listening to GIlbert and Sullivan in a man's room, has noted Mark Twain writing the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn in The Century but he has been given lots of other recommendations. Asks for some money as his washing bill has been high this term. 'The last four or five lectures in Anatomy have been on the embryology of the chick and have consisted of smashing eggs of different ages of incubation and mounting the embryos'. Tomorrow he begins mammalia.
