JSH will be happy to dine with WW on Monday. The place where they lodge in Felixstowe has been destroyed by fire. JSH thinks that no doubt he will be blamed for his pamphlet: 'but really it seems to me a perfect farce in these days that those who teach Natural History in a University should not be required to make the subject the main business of their lives instead of the mere occupation of their leisure moments. However the machinery we possess was adequate to the wants of a century ago is no more capable of supplying the demand now, than the spinning wheels of my village are of competing jennies of Manchester'.
