3 pp.

Trinity College - WW expects to be in London 'about the beginning of June to go down to Greenwich and eat white bait with the Royal Society'. For the rest of the vacation he will visit the Rhine, the Tyrol and Venice - could RJ accompany him along any of the journey? WW read RJ's pamphlet 'with great satisfaction and was much entertained with your distinction between money and other commodities ['Reasons Against the Repeal of the Usury Laws', 1825]. I am afraid that people hardly fright enough about the question to do you justice. I hope to find the demolition of the Ricardites very forward if I see you, for it is a proper adventure for you to set out to kill such a dragon as that system'. WW gives details of next year's lectures which RJ's nephew [William W. Attree] can start preparing for.
