Scope and Content

Has killed young rooks with a rifle so he could have rook pie (about 60 - 70 in two days, saw 120 nest altogether but poachers had been at them first). Tells Ruskin to look at a Robin's eye, if he hasn't already, as it is very beautiful. Wonders why not many people visit the National Gallery since he loves it.
