Reports that they were very glad to see Arthur and thought he seemed in good spirits. Announces that that day 'there is the Crisis', and expects to hear the decision of the Board before long. Reports that William wrote to him and told him that 'Teapots were pouring in' [as wedding gifts], which he declares to be unlucky. Declares himself to be very well, and not very busy since his work at present is light. Confesses to be concerned about Frank Horton's prospects. Fear that he may 'just miss the first class in the College Examination upon which his sizarship depends.' Reports that his Ladies' lectures are flourishing, and has heard that 'a Benevolent Individual is thinking of giving [them] £1000...' Remarks that Mary has become quite a good correspondent.
