Russia cannot stay where she is, and we cannot allow her to come much nearer to India! Where she is to stop and how far we are to go have to be settled, and these two points will not, I fear, be decided without fighting. I will not forget your brother, you may be sure. We saw him at Rawalpindi looking very well. I am very pleased to think that the 9th Lancers are to be with me. If there is service Lady Roberts and the children will go home in November. Freddy is getting on well at Eton. It is so kind of you to offer to take him for a bit next holidays, but I believe it has been settled that he spends the first part with Lady Kemball and then goes to the Pole-Carews in Cornwall. I hope you and yours are very flourishing...”, 4 sides 8vo., Snowdon, Ootacamand, 30th May
