Item 64 - Letter from John Stevens Henslow

JSH has been thinking about the charge WW made towards him regarding the character of the man he voted for: 'I am afraid that I did not consider Crick's [Thomas Crick?] character in so true a light as I ought to have done when I voted for him'. JSH had no idea that Crick had removed his name from the Cambridge Philosophical Society: 'I ought certainly to have felt myself justified in not voting - since I had not given him any promise'. JSH was aware of Crick's conduct towards tradesmen but had decided to ignore it. He is obliged to WW for his rebuke.
