Tithe Commission - RJ has sent WW some of the tables they use: 'If you are thinking of collecting your own rent-charges you may find the plan set on foot by some of the Archdeacons and others useful. They furnish Willick of the University Insurance Office with a summary of the apportionment and for a few shillings he makes them out annually a calculation of the sum each payer should contribute according to the altered averages of each year. This enables them to employ collectors who would not be able to make the calculations without great labor or if they collect themselves saves them labor'. Although Willick 'says he does not get paid for his labor which seems likely but they think it brings connection to their office - he has 4 or 500 customers you will find his terms on the inside of the cover of his tables'. RJ never knew how much it suited him living at Haileybury until the prospect of it vanishing assumed such a possibility. RJ expects the Government to take the right tone with regard to the Welsh questions.
