Item 112 - Richard Jones to William Whewell

3 pp.

RJ has only just got through the examination papers and must then go to Brighton. He has come across 'some curious philological questions in my teutonic researches which will amuse you'. RJ hears and believes 'that the government are in difficulties about finance and are meditating fresh taxes on raising the income tax to shilling'. This, he thinks, will be a problem after the general election.
