Scope and content
[Sent with 99/76]. Asks her to write to Mrs Clough [see 101/171/1-2] to say that he has ascertained that the best man he knows for the scheme she has in view 'is at present disengaged', and would probably be most willing to assist. State that his name is J. W. Hales; he was the fourth classic in Henry's year, 'and is extremely well read in History and English literature.' States that he took a very strong interest in female and middleclass education when in Cambridge 'and was one of the chief promoters of the girls' examination.' Describes his many qualities, which he believes would make him a good lecturer. Adds that money is of importance to him, as he intends to be married. He has friends in Liverpool, and could get very good testimonials.
Would be very glad to come and stay with her the first week in January. Asks her to tell Arthur that he shall press his motion about Natural Science praelector, and that if Arthur believes in it, he ought to come, but declares that his [Henry's] case is not so strong as he could wish.
