Trinity College - WW wants to settle arrangements for when RJ and Mrs Jones come to stay in Cambridge. He wants to know what RJ thinks of politics: 'I suppose we may look on the constitution as [changed] from this time; for all power must centre in the House of Commons, and they will be thoroughly democratic. I cannot understand how the Whigs had the heart to take the ship; seeing the consequence as a great number of them did. I thought they had at least some love of the country but I see now that they loved nothing but their own revenge and gain. It is a thing that rather weighs on one's spirits to know that we are living in a country running rapidly to disorganisation and comparative barbarism'.
