Item 75 - Richard Jones to William Whewell

Haileybury - RJ will have to cancel their planned visit to Cambridge as Charlotte Jones is ill. RJ is sending her to Brighton - 'our first visit after she comes back shall be to you if it is convenient to you'. RJ is 'worried enough in London about Peel's measure etc. I find (I think) I am in a majority - as I neither share the fears of the minority nor can reconcile myself at all to their remedies I cannot promise to help them but I shall make their views known in all proper quarters' [see RJ to WW, 3 March 1842]. They are debating about demolishing the East India House. RJ thinks they will all 'be jobbed - all this uncertainty about my home and prospects for they hang on my position here'.
