you would not be here for six months. I am sure it is nothing to them when you come in. I like Macaulay's history very much. I have read the first volume and nearly the whole of the second. I am sorry to hear that there are only the two first volumes here. I should like to read the rest. There is one thing in it I do not like quite so well. I think he gives Oliver Cromwell too good a character. The reason Papa's accident was not mentioned in my letter was that it was written before it happened. In coming down the hill Papa's foot slipt and caught hold of the fence and a little bit of the wood ran in to his hand. He did not get it out for a fortnight.
