WW is to be a candidate for the office of Professor of Mineralogy in consequence of John S. Henslow's resignation (appointed Regius Professor of Botany). WW is optimistic that he will be appointed. Could JCH help WW with some inquiries respecting the history of the Botanical Professorship. WW is to change his travelling plans for the summer: 'I shall go to Freyberg and Berlin except I can hear of some better school of German mineralogy. We will improve our science from that quarter as well as your literature'.
