Scope and content
Haileybury - The Principal of Haileybury College, Charles Webb Le Bas has resigned: 'I am more pained than I could have anticipated at seeing him thus driven from his home and office'. His 'probable successor cannot be looked forward to very cheerfully'. If Jeremie [James Amiraux Jeremie] 'could have served under Le Bas quietly and cordially - the place would have dropt into his mouth in a year or two - as it is no one dreams of him here as in London and he knows it' - he is 'wholly unconscious of what he has done to others - almost insanely so'. RJ's coachman has committed suicide - 'the whole household has been in gloom'.
