Item 163 - Letter from Julius Charles Hare

Herstmonceux, Hailsham - JCH spent a delightful evening at Warfield with Lady Campbell, Miss Malcolm and Miss Kate - 'an evening that brought back Hyde Hall and all its happiness'. The next day he went to London and saw Lady Malcolm in the evening: 'It was the first time of seeing her since our loss [the death of Sir John Malcolm?]...Her face was a good deal changed, a good deal oldened. Sorrow and pain had brushed its lustre away'. WW's fears of falling out with Connop Thirlwall will hopefully not be fulfilled [see JCH to WW, 1 June 1834]. JCH liked WW's second pamphlet ['Additional Remarks on Mr Thirlwall', 1834]: 'the main part of your arguments occur to me quite convincing and unanswerable'.
