Unidad documental simple 164 - Richard Jones to William Whewell

4 pp.

RJ would 'have been glad of any intimation from the Bishop as to how he found the atmosphere but am not surprised at his silence. He would be cautious as to committing any one. It will not do of course to hurt him but if chance brings you together you may glean something'. RJ agrees entirely with WW about his printed lectures - 'but I had better get them all out on my present restricted plan before I finally stretch my compasses. I must do a good deal of the work you contemplate as I proceed with my pure political economy and I am hardly at the threshold of this - afterwards I can write some preliminary lectures and add matter at its best place - I can see already my first 4 or 5 lectures will swell to many times their present size and that I am actually now only providing bricks'.
