Thanks WW for the 'Trinity Audit Ale'. TT has read WW's 'sermon with great satisfaction. No one can doubt of your praises of the worthies of Trinity being perfectly just; and we, who have not the honour to be Trinity men, must be content with the thought that they were also worthies of Cambridge'.

TT thanks WW for his little work on Mechanics ['Mechanical Euclid', 1837]: 'Your remarks upon mathematical reasoning and Induction - which, as you will easily suppose, attracted my principal attention - appear to me to contain a great deal of very important matter; and I am glad to see the attention of men directed to the grounds of science. The producing of results is not all that is wanted in academical education; and this is a matter too often forgotten'.
