Scope and content
East India College - Blamire [William Blamire] and RJ 'are not exactly on terms which would make any application from me to him useful and having said that I am very ready to send an extract of your letter to him if you wish it - but I rather advise not - If he is to be applied to you or some other friend had better do it'. However, RJ does not know how the [tithe] commissioners can help him unless the Jesus College men previously agree to abide by their opinion. The commissioners can enforce terms on no one. WW should 'clearly persuade the said Jesus men to be reasonable if you can and I in your case should propose to them to let some skilful and respectable man be he assistant commissioner or other calculate what the annual sum should be taking a liberal view of the Jesus interest as it is on your request the plan proceeds and they will probably throw over the scheme if they are to gain nothing by it'.
