Informs her that she has nearly resolved 'to make the offer with regard to F[rank] Horton', Wishes his mother to write to Mrs Horton to inform her that he is enquiring, and that he believes, 'if he [Frank] has fair abilities will work hard and practise the strictest economy', he may, with some assistance from Henry, 'get board, lodging, and teaching [ ] and all necessary academic expenses paid.' Asks her to convey that the matter is as yet uncertain, and to make it clear that he cannot expect to get more than his expenses of living at Cambridge. Asks her to see what she thinks of the prospect. Asks her to tell Arthur that he is very much obliged for his cards. Announces that he is going to write to Dr Jacob.
