Title	30 November 1849 J W Lace at Bromsgrove to Fanny [Lace]. Writing again because note wrote from Oxford was hastily written and short. As to excitement attendant on him going up to Oxford preventing one getting a prize, he does not know whether she refers to Theological one - only one writer has a chance of. Feels rather sanguine; should like to leave Bromsgrove with one prize. Not sorry to leave school though he has spent many happy days there. Likes idea of residing next term - only 1 term later than originally fixed. Wants to give sort of tea supper in his study - small spread to 6 or 8. If writer could only get the means. Could she send him a Christmas pie or anything of that sort? Ask Mamma and Papa and let him know that he may tell her when he should like it sent. Intends to be very economical at Oxford but afraid University is rather an expensive college. Battels higher than at most of others - still suppose a man's non-essential expenses are the great difference. Tell Papa University is getting a cricket ground laid down - altogether cricket flourishing at Oxford.
