Portée et contenu
Informs her that the Reverend T.R. Birks has been elected Professor of Moral Philosophy. Claims not to be bothered by this development, because a professorship would entail '[m]ore dust, more dross, in comparison with Knowledge and Virtue'; because his election would have meant not great increase in income; and also because 'it would have entailed several woes', including being asked to dinner by '[s]everal more stupid people'. Tells her not to waste any sympathy on him, and to keep it all for 'H[enry] H[ayman] who...will soon want it'. Hopes to go to Rugby on 11 May. Hopes that her cough is better.
