Unfortunately the holidays are nearing their end. No doubt WW is already back at College - 'If so, will you ascend my staircase and see whether the painters have finished my room, and if not, urge them on'. JCH stayed at Hyde Hall when he left Cambridge: 'Being thrown more together with Sir John alone, I found more and more to admire in him'. Connop Thirlwall has resolved to come to Trinity College: 'I hope now a little more confidently, that we shall be able to do something in Cambridge for classical literature'.

Collingwood - JH has been reading about WW's speech in Lancaster [to his old school] in the Cambridge Chronicle. Julius Hare was at JH's yesterday 'speaking of you and the cause of honour and utility now before you' [appointed vice-chancellor of Cambridge University]: For 'the good of the university and the country', JH and JH hope that WW's appointment 'may be a long one'.
