WW congratulates JCH on winning a libel case brought against him: 'I wish to see the Brighton newspaper which you promise to send me'. WW dismisses the rumours JCH has heard claiming that as Vice-Chancellor WW's 'natural vehemence of character' had got worse: 'I have tried to suppress pigeon-shooting in the outskirts of the town, uproar in the Senate house galleries, and dinners at taverns and of course this makes detractors and railers'. WW 'has not been neglectful of the object you speak of - diminishing the influence of private tutors. To-day I brought in a Grace with that view: it is non-placeted. I am still going to try to travel towards the same object. I think you expect things inconsistent if you would have me attempt objects so difficult, complex, unpopular, as what you speak of, and still would have me spoken of by no one as eager and self-willed. I have had the people in the newspapers writing against my measures, and the Johnians have thrown it out for the present'.
