Scope and content

Carnarvon, N. Wales - WW's hopes of meeting up with RJ have not gone to plan. He is very impressed with the area surrounding Carnarvon. WW is cramming seven pupils: 'One advantage of having my hands so full of employment is that it allows one to dream of undertakings metaphysical, philological, mathematical and others which I would execute if I had time. In the mean while nothing prospers but mechanics'. WW has been approached by Monk [James H. Monk] for the College mathematical lectureship, and has accepted.
