Item 65 - Letter from William Daniel Conybeare

3 pp

He is 'delighted' with Whewell's letter, and would like to quote him as an authority in an article he wants to write for the West of England Journal. He is pleased that Whewell may consider sending the said journal a paper 'on the action of tides - your name would be very serviceable to us', and hopes he has seen the second number which has two articles by him in. Like everywhere else they are all 'agitated by Politics just now - I look on the Stanley folk as the only true Whigs - and can hardly find words to express the disgust and contempt with which the coalition of that poor tool and fool Johnny Russell with the Radicals and Repealers gives me'.
