Scope and content
Collingwood - Since William and Cordelia Whewell may be in Tunbridge Wells JH has sent a copy of his letter there as well as to Trinity College [see 207/54]. If they are so near to Hawkhurst they should come and visit them for a day. JH would like to thank WW 'for your paper on cause and effect (on which subject I have progressed I believe to a point very far in advance of all existing speculation...)'. JH could not visit Cambridge as well as go to Manchester 'solely on Bessel's account'.
