Scope and content
Reports that he heard about Rugby the previous day: that H[enry] H[ayman] 'will stay until something else happens.' Supposes that 'there has been a hard fight on the Board'. Wonders whether any will leave because of this crisis. States that he has asked A[rthur] to tell him what is the actual decline of the school. Admits to believing sometimes 'that things have come now to such a pass that everyone had better do just what he feels inclined to do - stay or go...' Predicts that there will be 'no joy of harmonious work or prosperity at Rugby for some time...unless the decline comes much faster than one anticipates.' Asks her to tell Mary that he will write to her, and that he is much obliged for her letter. Warns against compulsory idleness, and advises that Mary be made to feel as little an invalid as possible. Hopes to see William on 22 [March].
