Although unaffected by the recent commercial distress RS is in desperate need of cash. Does WW know what his dividend will be and could he receive the same for RS from the bursar: 'One of majesty's ministers (I believe his majesty here must be that of the people) called upon me the other day for nine pounds - being my half yearly quote to the support of the poor and I was forced to bid him call again'. RS has found out from Molyneux 'that Hardy is a little particular upon showing his clocks unless he has some hope of selling one so not intending to buy I cannot well take up his time by interrogations' [see RS to WW, 1 July 1826]. RS is not sure WW preaching at St. Mary's is a good idea.
