Scope and content
RJ is feeling weak after his inflammation of the chest. RJ 'can conceive that you may see many objections to the threatened cycles of the philosophers but you have protested stoutly[,] openly and as much as is likely to do good [referring to WW's 'Of a Liberal Education in General, and with Particular Reference to the Leading Studies of the University of Cambridge'?] and I see no use and some evil likely to arise from your opposing the population of the university headed by some of your own friends'. RJ hopes WW does 'not mean to do anything more than laugh at them about it for the future'.
