Talbot is afraid that his son [Charles Henry Talbot] will not do very well in the forthcoming college examinations: 'He is often unwell, but even when well he finds himself almost incapacitated from reading. It is a thing to be pitied for it does not arise from idleness...He says, I experience a complete want of mental energy', asks Whewell to mention this to his son's tutor Mathison. Will send him some new specimens of photoglyphic engraving, given the interest the Whewell's took in the subject, and which he has now much improved.
