Scope and content
Royal Observatory Greenwich - GA encloses the Deed of Gift in the matter of the Sheepshanks Endowment [see GA to WW, 30 Sept. 1856]. Wilfred Airy has returned home with the Senate House Papers: 'I have looked over them carefully. I see pretty clearly the state of things, and do not think the worse of Wilfred for his place. I am much dissatisfied with the examination. Your Smith's Prize Revision of the upper places has cast upon the examination such a slur as I never knew before'.
