Charlotte Lucy Davenport received this note of congratulations from her brother "S. H." in regards to her son's Newdigate Award from Oxford. It reads:
Foxley
2 May 1895
My dear Lucy,
Delighted to hear of Jack's success with the Newdigate. The win only concentrate his talent on definite _____ & not dissipate it over many things, he will do great things x he suffers from a multiplicity, not paucity, of ideas--I hope John is properly elated.
Yr. Affectionate Brother
S. H. Davenport
