Scope and content
WW is pleased JCH found his advice on architectural matters useful [see WW to JCH, 27 Sept. 1840]. He cannot yet give any authority on the projection of JCH's roofing. At Cambridge there is the imminent prospect of elections to the Chancellorship and High Stewardship: 'For the latter, the University looks to Trinity for a candidate. The younger men have set their hearts upon Lord Lyttelton, and I shall vote for him if he is proposed: but I think the wish of the University is for some older man; for instance Lord Northampton. The alternative is a Tory candidate - Lord Lyndhurst or Lord Canterbury'. WW would not be pleased if Lord Lyndhurst represented them.
