Scope and content
Writes in relation to [E. A. Wallis] Budge, about whose future Mr [W.H.] Smith, 'Budge's old and kind employee', is concerned. Mentions that Smith suggested an application to the Foreign Office on his behalf, but Gladstone thinks Budge to be 'more made for study than for action', and had Cambridge in mind for his education. Asks Sidgwick, who had shown 'kind interest in this youth', for his opinion.
