Scope and content
Collingwood - JH does not want WW to conclude that he is a 'convert to all your [philosophical] arguments though on some points I think the difference between us is reduced to a very fine line indeed'. John and Margaret Herschel will be unable to visit WW in Cambridge this summer, but will certainly take up WW's hospitality the following year when the British Association meets there (JH is to take the chair). He has no decided opinion about the meeting taking place in Cambridge for a second time.
