WW has had a letter from Benson [see Christopher Benson to WW, 1 June 1834]: 'I suppose a stout high churchman asking me how far I would go in concession to the Dissenters. I answered that I would give them degrees keeping them in their present footing in the colleges, so that they must conform to general rules and claim no exemptions'.

How far is WW 'inclined to consider the admission of Dissenters into the Universities? Are there many with his opinion. CB has read WW's pamphlet [Additional Remarks on Some Parts of Mr. Thirlwall's Two Letters on the Admission of Dissenters to Academical Degrees, 1834].
