Reports that Andrew has been 'for a quarter at school at Bath', but that 'Prescote Hewett the London Surgeon is clear that Bath is too relaxing for the boy, and that he must go to Brighton.' Claims that he has been to Brighton, and has seen many of the three-hundred schools said to exist there, but that he was particularly impressed with Brighton College. Since most of the masters there are Cambridge men, he asks Sidgwick his opinion of them; 'if the teaching is likely to be good, and if they are men to whom one would do well to trust a boy of decided ability, but bird-witted and un-concentrative.' Is contemplating letting the boy remain at Brighton, and making it his only school, 'instead of sending him...to Rugby.' Reports that he begins work again with his boys that day. Refers to the turning of the year, and to the fact that he is still in the Church of England, despite his difficulties. Reports that Dr [R.] Williams wrote to him about the Free Christian Union, saying that it is 'a very nice thing for Christians unattached'. Hopes that it may 'offer help to some who are attached also.' Asks Sidgwick if he has made up his mind about joining it. Informs him that some more men are needed on the Committee, and hopes that Sidgwick might be inclined to join. Asks him to let him hear about 'B[righton] College' when he can find the time. Also remarks that [ ], a [Trinity] fellow, is a son of the Secretary of Brighton College, and had no education 'except these.'
