RT agrees with WW 'that the imputation of unfairness to the Cambridge Philosophical Society in Mr Potter's paper should not have been admitted into the Philosophical Magazine'. He is unsure whether WW's 'Letter to the Editor has been meant for publication, or as a private remonstrance. In either case I have only to express my persuasion that it cannot have been intended to you to imply that the Philosophical Magazine is generally faulty in this respect, as I trust that I have been, on the whole, successful in excluding the influence of personal views and feelings'. He is happy to put a note in the next edition 'expressing disapprobation of such a charge and regret at its admission'.

They will then send a letter to Cordelia Whewell's agent as to whether they want to stay at Lowestoft.

Asks Sidgwick to take his name 'as a supporter of Thursday's Graces'.
