Hitcham, Bildeston, Suffolk - On receiving Lord Lyttelton's [George W. Lyttelton] circular, JSH wrote to the Chairman to say he would come if wanted. The day of the voting looks like it will clash with JSH's plans to go to Berkshire: 'If I can't vote on Tuesday, I must give up my Berkshire trip, but from your letter I suppose I can - Crick's circular is nothing more nor less than what I should be ashamed to call it - and if it is a type of Johnian morality, I feel that our college is at a low ebb indeed - I am glad to find that some of the best names are with you, and give so flat a contradiction to Mr Crick's manifesto' [see JSH to WW, 15 May 1836].
