RS had intended to be in Cambridge now but he finds that lectures do not begin as soon as he thought. Further, 'Tate's daughters are in town and I must ask them and help to entertain them'. He will be in Cambridge around about the 20th unless Haviland's lectures begin earlier. RS finds 'that Young [Thomas Young] has treated the Prof.'s [George Airy] speculations upon the Solar tables and their errors somewhat cavalierly. I trust he has got the wrong two by the ear and that Airy who has a back to his head will teach the [?] that errors so serious ought to be and must be immediately investigated and remedied. Happily A. appears to have no disposition to yield and if he is resolute these supercilious [?] must change their notes'.
