East India College - RJ plans to come to Cambridge on Thursday after his lecture. Charlotte Jones 'was so affected and excited by your note that she has been really ill since and she thinks I can never tell you enough of her feeling of your brotherly conduct'. [Attached to this letter is the following which may instead belong to RJ to WW, 22 May 1852] Lord Derby has predictably declined RJ's claim for a pension on the ground that his office was considered temporary: 'But it lasted 15 years. It would never have been considered temporary could that have been foreseen - a man the best days of whose life have been passed in continued duties has he no equitable case for being taken out of the list of mere temporary servants and his last days seen to'.
