Scope and content
Littlegrange, Woodbridge. - Glad to hear Houghton is well and involved in literary pursuits. Thanks for suggesting him for Calderon Committee but he prefers quiet existence here: Houghton and the Archbishop [Richard Chenevix Trench, Archbishop of Dublin] will do the job admirably; recommends Professor E. B. Cowell of Cambridge as a worthy third is needed. Glad the Master of Trinity is recovering. Has withdrawn from the New Shakespeare Society owing to Furnivall's 'blackguard manifestoes'.
