Oriel College - If, in his last letter, EH sounded like he shared in the general opinion about Prince Albert - 'I must have expressed myself ill; for I had been undeceived by that time in fact by our Chancellor'. EH hopes WW did not dislike their Report to the Duke [Duke of Wellington], which in substance coincided very much with your Memorial'. He does not know whether it was the Duke of Wellington or Lord John Russell who allowed the letters to be printed by the public papers: 'Certainly we did not publish them. In fact no one here had even seen the Duke's two notes to Lord John till they appeared in the Papers' [concerning the proposed Commission to investigate the Universities].
