Item 139 - Richard Jones to William Whewell

WW will see an article in the Times about the Address: 'I mention it only to say I had nothing to do with it nor do I know anything of its parentage except that it must be one of the parties represented by Mont. Villiers - I see no great harm in it except that it seems to postpone the universities to the London clergy which is not my taste. I have read Hare's [Julius Hare] letter and charge - they are excellent and practical. I think they must do good and I really feel obliged to him for them'. RJ is not so happy with Hare's 'tinkering of the address'. On the whole RJ sees 'a prospect of union which must give great strength and have really left off being scared about Tractarian wars'. RJ is very concerned about Charlotte Jones's health. The new Professor at Haileybury has been installed: 'I see nothing to dislike in him but he is not quite so striking a person as I was led to expect...his name is Buckley'.
