Scope and content

Explains that the reason that he would like her to come to Cambridge is so that she may see Newnham Hall with 'the first bloom on it.' Reports that the house is full, and that everything is going on satisfactorily so far. Assures her that she may come any other time, but informs her that he goes away for the vacation on 10 December. Reports that Edward came up to Cambridge to elect Stuart professor [of Mechanism and Applied Mechanics], but he did not see him, as he was only in town for an hour. Hopes that her dental arrangements 'are going on as well as can be expected', and that her Rogers 'is not the real Rogers'.
