Trinity College - WW 'was delighted to hear of the temper in which you were working and of the prospect of getting on again with the printing' ['An Essay on the Distribution of Wealth, and on the Sources of Taxation: Part 1. - Rent', 1831]. WW hopes John Herschel will 'be our next President [of The Royal Society]: both for the reason you mention and because I do really care for the poor old society which I suppose you do not. It would be bad to desert the ancient lady because such bullies and parasites as South [James South] have been trying to hustle her out of the country'. WW does not think Peel [Robert Peel] will take notice of RJ's project, 'but in good truth I think something of the kind is needed - the proceedings in your part of the world are like a break up of society'.
