Scope and content
Has been playing cricket against Caius for the last three days. Proudly notes that John's won the match and he scored 110 not out. Has had a 'capital' pair of cricket shoes made, expensive but more longer lasting than canvas ones. Tomorrow they play against the College servants which includes a dinner in the pavilion which 'from all accounts will be rather a joke'. Is beginning 'sound' experiments at Cavendish laboratories. Also notes he requires a good supply of frogs as he has a good deal of dissecting to do.
