WW will not be able to return to Cambridge for the elections due to his ongoing experiment in Cornwall [with George Airy] to measure the density of the earth: 'So pray if you have an opportunity represent to the electioneering people how much more important it is that they should know the weight of the earth, on which all parties tread, than that the weight of Lord P.'s [Lord Palmerston] party should be increased by the addition of unit me' [Account of Experiments made at Dolcoath Mine in Cornwall, 1828]. WW and GA are underground between 8 to 11 hours and seldom dine before 11 or 12 at night. Could JCH assist him with unfinished tutorial business (applications and accounts) while he is away.
