Scope and content

Expresses that he is anxious to receive Geddes' report on Abbotsholme School and advises that he will write a reply to it, with a view to allowing Geddes to modify it before publication. Advises that he has received two letters, one from Robert Oswald Moon and the other from Spencer Wilkinson which make him think the result of their meeting with Geddes was not positive. Encloses plans of the Upper and Lower Gardens at Abbotsholme [not extant] and requests advice relating to the garden. Requests help to source a gardener and a new master to take English, Geography, History, Language and Literature due to the departure of Mr. Douglas
