Another simple postcard, this time to inform Darby that he may not be visible to him for an event that may happen the next day, as he will be busy collecting farmers' rents and may not be free from them.

This letter contains three things for Darby.

The first is a thanks for Darby's kindness in his letter, apparently referring to an article/review Manning wrote. Manning expresses that he liked the shoddiness and impertinence (likely sarcastically) and says its one merit is its grammar.

Secondly, Manning tells Darby that he said that Darby is the only resident in Cambridge.

Finally, Manning informs Darby that he told the Editor of the Review (perhaps the Cambridge Review) to ask Darby to see the proofs through the press, since he wants to print it this week.

Manning ends the letter by telling Darby he has amended and sweetened his review, proposing a title of "This England... this Seat of Kings".

This is a simple postcard, with a request that Darby inform Manning of his plans. Manning is leaving for presumably a holiday that Friday or Saturday and expects to be back in the middle of September.

The front of the postcard has many scribblings on it and is from the Ailesbury Arms Hotel in Marlborough.

Despite Manning calling this letter a 'mere note', it is a reply involving quite a few subjects.

To begin with, Manning informs Darby of his travel plans, expecting to be back in Cambridge by September 26th.

Next, Manning asks Darby to find the Hall address of a friend named Harry. He cannot remember it himself but gives Darby vague directions and hopes he can find the specific address himself. He has even drawn a basic map to help.

Thirdly, Manning writes about clothes: breeches, a jacket and riding boots. He recommends getting the breeches first so Darby can be measured in them for the boots.

Finally he mentions Bob has been sailing and Darby can write a note to him, addresses to New York. Also along the side, Manning says he deal with the Dedication in a proper letter.

This postcard comes from the Ailesbury Arms, which means that Darby declined the invitation from the last item. This is a short message, congratulating Darby for an article he's written which has been published somewhere distinguished, though Manning doesn't mention where specifically.

Manning also mentions how he has received no news from Woolston, then goes onto listing minor news, such as saying Darby is right about a book, Manning coming from Fowey last Thursday and has been enjoying good weather and that Jessie visited on Saturday. He finishes by saying he'll return as near full term as he can.

This letter begins with Manning asking that Darby pick out a Christmas present for himself. Of a more important note is Manning referencing that times for Darby seem to be less than pleasant as of late, as he reminds him that there is much good in this world. He rounds off the letter by saying that his friendship with Darby is a great treasure to him.

This item discusses a lot of context that the reader will not be privy too. Manning appears to be expresses shared doubts with Darby concerning a topic related to Darby's personal life. The rest of this entry concerns Manning giving Darby advice relating to a book or an article he has written about the Fenlands, such as suggestions for shortening the title.

This letter has another simple message. Manning informs Darby that he will not be around for most of the next day, due to Dr. Nouirre inviting him to go to a matinée. Manning says he may be back for a late tea at around 5 or after and he would be delighted if Darby came around at that time, if convenient.

This entry is another that revolves around Christmas. Manning informs Darby that he cannot find a book as a present for him and asks if he can find one himself; he has been too busy trying to collect himself for his birthday the next day, as well as making plans for the new year, a main one being to see Darby more.

This item begins with Manning stating that he was unable to speak to Darby, to which he puts down to Darby being a 'good Dutch boy' and 'putting his hand over the hole in the sea bank'.

Following this, he invites Darby to join him for a trip to Marlborough around April 10th. He says the Southern Command have chartered the Ailesbury Arms and the Castle and Ball for some earlier days during that week, yet near the end of the trip they should be gone.

While this letter lacks a year, the fact that Manning mentions difficulties of his new job strongly suggests this letter was written in 1933, the year he became a Senoir Tutor.

This is a Christmas letter, Manning expressing his apologies to Darby for being so busy last term, due to the new job. He then thanks Darby himself for his gift, exclaiming his joy that he actually has the time to read now.

He finishes the letter by wishing Darby a good Christmas and wondering if he listenened to the King's service, during which he managed to identify various people.

This is a short, undated letter, though it begins with Manning referring to Darby by name, suggesting this letter was written during or after 1935. The message is simple, a thanks to Darby for a piece of work he has sent Manning.

This letter mostly concerns the success of Clifford Daby himself. Unlike the rest of the letters, the recipient is not H.C. Darby but his father, Evan Darby, which we can tell from the fact the letter starts with a formal 'Dear Mr. Darby'. Manning expresses his thoughts that Clifford will have a very fine career and possesses very fine qualities as a friend. Manning is very proud that Clifford was one of his pupils, though remains humble and thinks he learnt little from him.

Manning also briefly responds to an invitation from Darby, saying he'll come if he can. Finally, Manning hopes Mrs Darby's health is better.
