Given in France
Circumstances surrounding Robert B Mayor not being elected a Fellow of St John's
With a few miscellaneous notes.
(Four messages, including two from Lady Palgrave.)
Doncaster. - Houghton's kind notice of his circular; Mr Parker may have explained why Jackson seeks new employment; genealogical work excites little interest; seeks Record Office position or similar; knows Mr Frank but believes he does not value his collections enough to pay for them to be sorted.
Swansea - GA will be 'extremely glad' to have Neale as a pupil. However, further to his correspondence with Myers, he does not know whether Mr Hare had or had not already engaged a tutor for Neale. Could WW answer some questions further to the fellowship examination - 'In the first place must I sit at all? In the next place supposing that I sit, by what time must I be at Cambridge?'"
'Delighted to see you on Tuesday'.
