Part of Additional Manuscripts a

WDC's son [William John Conybeare] has been 'detained by serious indisposition in town'. Therefore he has not yet returned home and thus he can say nothing certain about his plans. WDC's son has 'read nothing but Classics' and neglected the mathematics. Last week he had a bad 'fever and strong pulsation and displacement of the heart' but thanks to a prompt bleeding seems much better. WDC would like to 'keep him quiet ten days or a fortnight before he returns' homeward, and does not want him to overwork.
