Scope and content
Colwell, Yarmouth, I[sle of] Wight. - Her husband [Nassau John Senior] seeks Secretaryship of the University of London but has no contacts owing to a reclusive nature; hopes Houghton's recollections of Hyde Park Gate will induce him to assist. Her husband's testimonials as Secretary of Commissions do not convey his rare tact in business relations; Houghton can learn this from his former colleagues.
