Reports that he has just finished reading Arthur Sidgwick's biography of Henry Sidgwick, which, he claims, 'had a purifying and ennobling influence' on his heart.

Compares the effect of the book on him to that which he experience on reading, as a young man, the biography of Charles Kingsley.

Itchenstoke - RCT wishes to offer himself as a candidate for the vacant Theological Professorship at Cambridge - 'that is, supposing that Archdeacon Hare [Julius Hare] should not be a candidate.

Perhaps I might have a line from you to say what steps I ought to take for the purpose of officially declaring myself a Candidate, & whether I ought to announce my intention to each one of the electors'.

Mill]. My sympathies, (I dare not in my ignorance of the subject use a stronger word) are altogether with you'.

Thanks for the return of a case.
