Explains that he was knocked down in London. Agrees that 'it will be well to continue the use of the money to Newnham', but thinks that they 'shall carry out Miss Bathurst's wishes'. Suggests making Mrs Sidgwick, 'and afterwards any future principal of Newnham', a personal trustee. States that if Sidgwick thought that one of the Darwins would be amenable to be appointed as trustee, that he [Paul] would retire, since he knows that Mrs Bathurst would not have appointed him had she known that he was likely to become Catholic. Tells Sidgwick to write to W.H. Gray, informing him that he had communicated with Paul, 'at the old address.' Declares that Sidgwick is 'most kind in offering to bring up the fund to a round sum.' Sends his regards to Mrs Sidgwick. Reports that his son-in-law [Rendel] 'has gone to [ ] on business for the winter', and therefore 'Ruth and her three children are almost next door for the [winter]'.
