2 Bedford Place - Invitation to WW and Cordelia Whewell.
The Athenaeum Club - LH has learnt that the Transactions of the Cambridge Philosophical Society and the Royal Society Transactions are still in the custody of Mr Hudson. LH would like to know the best way to send the books WW is to receive in return.
Bedford Place - LH leaves it to WW to send the invitation to Bunsen [Christian C. J. Bunsen].
Leonard Horner was at Manchester when WW's letter arrived and he gives the answer CL thought he would [attached to CL's letter is Horner's reply, in which he expresses his desire to be President of the Geological Society but unfortunately has not got the time]. CL has produced a list with Horner concerning possible candidates - Michael Faraday, George Poulett Scrope, William Buckland. CL wishes Egerton [Philip de Malpas Grey Egerton] had been ready - other 'vigorous and fresh men' include Richard Owen and Charles Darwin.
Pleased to hear of the progress made by TM's pupils, sees a new era of education ahead, government becoming liberals, differences with Maculloch and Mill
