WW is sure Blakesley [Joseph W. Blakesley] 'will be much obliged to you for thinking of him in the matter of Tonbridge school'. WW recollects 'something of your story of the school; and I also happen to have read your Master's essays, for they were in our school library. Once or twice since a feeling of wonder has caught my mind, how it came that a book so silly and worthless was so widely diffused. The ignorant abuse of universities and several other things circulated even in Tory regions; and I supposed belonged to those secure times which elapsed before reformers began; when folks thought they might balance their indiscriminate practical conservativism with indiscriminate theoretical condemnation. We cannot do such things now, and it is well that we cannot'.
