Item 130 - Richard Jones to William Whewell

4 pp.

If Blakesley [Joseph W. Blakesley] has no chance RJ hopes [F. W.?] Clark will succeed [presumably for James Amiraux Jeremie's replacement at Haileybury] . However there are a number of formidable Oxonians in the field with a good chance. RJ has 'no doubt Jeremie will get through all his public duties well[,] as for private feuds he may get into some but they will at Cambridge among no one but himself - he means as to these to mean to try to be a good boy I am sure' [Jeremie has been appointed as the new Regius Professor of Divinity at Cambridge]. The Government has seen an abstract of the Tithe Commission Report before it was made and have pledged themselves to it.
