Scope and content
WW hopes RJ is securely sworn in as Commissioner [Commission on Tithes]. WW has been asked to recommend one candidate to RJ's notice for a place as one of the assistant Commissioners: 'The candidate is W. Wordsworth junior son of the poet. I know nothing of him personally, but he is of a good stock and it would give me great pleasure to forward any wish of his father'. The application comes via Rose [Hugh James Rose] 'who has scruples (but not angry ones) about applying to you himself'.
