1 doc

Discusses Budge's future, and reports that he has seen the latter, and has been in conversation with Dr Stainer on the subject. Believes that, although Budge could derive great advantage from his remaining on at Cambridge, he is not in a condition 'to make the best of the opportunity', and he is 'inclined to acquiesce in his view that he should obtain employment and independence as soon as possible. Discusses and discounts his possible return to a business world, or his working as a private secretary. Refers to Budge's own desire to obtain an Inspectorship of Schools. Asks Sidgwick to recommend him in this sphere.
