Item 69 - Letter from John Stevens Henslow

3 pp

St Alban's - JSH is sorry he cannot be at the meeting WW refers to, but is willing to help with any general arrangements that may be considered advisable. He will lecture at Cambridge for 4 days during the Easter term: 'The great inconvenience which I have felt, is the shortness of the period appointed for residence during that term. If our men were obliged (as at Oxford) to keep the whole term it would greatly facilitate the introduction of a course of lectures in Botany at a period of the year best suited for the purpose'.
