Scope and content
Emsworth, Hampshire - WW has just been to the funeral of his friend and brother-in-law Frederic Myers. He thinks RJ should be given a pension from the state like the other two Tithe Commissioners, rather than relying on the church for compensation: 'It is treating the Commission as if it were a lawsuit between the nation and the church, and so at the end each party were left to pay its own agents'.
