Scope and content
Reminds her that she owes him a letter, and asks whether [Edward?] would 'under any circumstances go to Rugby [as new head]', and what he thinks about the matter. Thinks that he is the best man whose name he has heard mentioned. Is sorry for Temple's sake about 'this row in Exeter' [over his appointment as bishop of Exeter], and states that otherwise he would be rather pleased. States that Pussy's letter seems to him 'as usual, effective for his antagonist: for if the canons of Exeter are really in the dilemma that he presents so vehemently - Acquiescence or Disestablishment, there is not much doubt which [house] they will choose.'
