29 Eaton Place - 'Mrs Ricardo (the widow of the celebrated political economist) has written to me to request me to write to you a line of nomination in favour of her grandson Mr William Austin who is gone up to your College. I know how much you must be troubled with similar requests but as Mrs Ricardo is a particular friend of Sir John and Lady Lubbock I hope you will excuse my writing to you on the subject'.
