Scope and content
91 Adelaide Road NW - He does not expect Whewell to confer college patronage on Mr [Thomas Penyngton] Kirkman, but to say a good word if something arises. As to Whewell's statement that men who are hanged have the next world in this, he reminds him of the mechanics of hanging. Refers to Mr Wright, a remarkable Cambridge (town) man, and has met [Henry] Crabb Robinson who recalls that Wordsworth said Dyer's life of Robert Robinson one of the best biographies in the English language.
