Trinity College - Attree [William Attree] tells WW that RJ has composed an epistle to the syndics of the Cambridge Press. WW has not yet spoken to any of the members 'thinking it better not to do so till I could press the matter to the utmost by producing details or manuscript' [see WW to RJ, 20 Sept. 1827]. WW will have to soon decide on the professorship: 'I do not intend to devote my life to mineralogy and should probably not keep the professorship many years'. Nevertheless he intends to become master of the subject and introduce reforms. He would also 'like the kind of rank which it gives here'.
