"
During the first half of 1872 I had to hunt for a home in which I could happily leave you four Boys. I corresponded with, and saw twelve families before I decided finally to leave Arthur and Jack at Harrow, with Mr. and Mrs. James Stuart; and Fred and Cecil with Aunt Annie and Henry, then 6 years old, at Dorking. Both homes were very comfortable - though the Stuarts was very expensive; but we had every reason to believe that parents who had succeeded so well in bringing up their own 4 boys, would do their duty well by ours."
