Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - Would be delighted if Robert could come for Roosevelt's visit from 4-6 June; sorry that they will not have room for Elizabeth. Has been asked by the Vice Chancellor of Cambridge to chair the selection committee for the new professorship of English; [Samuel] Butcher, MP for the University, is vice-chairman; has declined the chair, but joined the committee and sent a large subscription; Lord Tennyson is to be chairman 'as the next literary name to Macaulay'.
