Item 101 - William Whewell to Julius Charles Hare

4 pp.

WW cannot answer JCH's last letter in any distinct manner: 'and therefore we will, if you please, see what is to be said about them when I come to you'. JCH need not fear of WW coming forward as a candidate [Alfred Ollivant resigning his chair as Regius Professor of Divinity to become Bishop of Llandaff]: 'there will be no difficulty, if you get about it soon, in your taking the degree of B.D. in time: - the only degree which is requisite'. WW does not know whether JCH could retain his present rectory with the professorship.
