Letter, 15 Oct. 1883, from J. W. L. Glaisher to the mother of a young man who may wish to become a student at Trinity, explaining what needs to be done to seek admission, the unlikelihood of his getting a college room in his first year, and the difficulty of estimating an undergraduate's expenditure. Enclosing a printed sheet with information on the entrance examinations to be held in Jan. 1884; a certificate at the bottom is to be to be filled in and returned to the College Tutor. There is also a printed folded sheet with information relating to non-collegiate students at Cambridge.
The prospective student is most likely William Hastings Bagshaw, son of William Edward Bradshaw of Pitt Place, Epsom, given the provenance of the documents; he was admitted as a student at Cambridge in October 1884, but at Pembroke rather than Trinity. His mother was Maria Roberts Bagshawe.
