WW responds to a query JCH has concerning two former members of Trinity in the early 1840s with the same surname: 'If the former is your man as seems probable, perhaps Thorp [Archdeacon Thorp] may be able to recollect something about the person'. WW thanks JCH for sending him a copy of his reply to the English Review concerning Sterling [John]. Has JCH seen the review of Trench's [Richard Chenevix Trench] Sacred Latin Poetry in Frazers Magazine?: 'a book which I much rejoice in'.

WW hopes that JCH and Mrs Hare will definitely be coming to Cambridge in April. Trench [Richard Chenevix Trench] and possibly Mrs Trench will be there. WW hopes also that Maurice [John F. D. Maurice] will be around at the same time: 'I hope Maurice has a good prospect of being appointed Reader at Lincoln's Inn. If there is any bencher to whom you would wish me to write pray let me know'.

WW still hopes JCH and Mrs Hare are coming to visit them at Cambridge in October. Trench [Richard Chenevix Trench] will be there every Sunday of that month. WW hope Maurice [John F D Maurice] will come at the same time.

Re memorial to William Makepeace Thackeray.

Westminster - It is important that the new Mastership of the College should be from Westminster.

Westminster - Since WW and Lady Affleck will be in London next week, RCT [Dean of Westminster] hopes WW 'will take a personal share in our Election proceedings this year; and may we hope for the pleasure of you and Lady Affleck's company to dinner on Saturday next to meet Elector & examiners as in former years'. Could WW give him the reference to a passage, he thinks in WW's Philosophy of the Inductive Sciences, to do with terminology and nomenclature - 'I want to make some use of it'.

Itchenstoke - Due to his work at King's College [Professor of Divinity at King's College, London], RCT, 'could not find room in the year for the preparation and delivery of fifteen additional lectures on such a subject as Moral Philosophy, I have determined not to offer myself as a candidate for the vacant Chair'. However, he thanks WW for suggesting that he should apply.

Trinity College - Sends WW a volume of his work [either Poems from Eastern Sources, 1842, or Genoveva, 1842].

Anglesey, nr. Gosport - RCT would be tempted to stand for the Hulsean Lectureship at Cambridge if he felt he had a chance [he was invited to give them in 1845]. He remembers the kind welcome he received from WW two years ago: 'Of course it is exceedingly probable that you may have some one in your eye infinitely fitter for the task'. They are expecting a visit next week from Julius Hare and his bride.

Notting Hill, London - WW 'must have felt some sympathy with us during the late distressing proceedings at King's College. Now in regard to what is personal in them, Maurice's [Frederick D. Maurice] friends may do what they like to show their affection for him; but it wd of course be unbecoming in me to take any part in such a demonstration: indeed I have felt convinced all along that to him this trial wd be only a purificatory process to fit him for the higher work appointed for him. But so far as the decision affects the church, I see no impropriety in my coming forward, along with others, to do what we can toward averting the evils which seem to me likely to ensue from it. For if the decision is acquiesced in without any protest or remonstrance, - if it is to be held that the belief in the everlasting duration of the torments of hell is an essential article of the faith of our Church, - I cannot but anticipate that the great mass of the thought and intellect of England, which of late years has been drawing nearer to the Church, and among divers classes, in no small measure, through the influences of M's [Maurice's] teaching, will be more and more alienated from her, and that many of the best men who were precarious to doubt themselves to her ministry, will seek refuge out of her pale, in Romanism or some form of pantheistic speculation. In the hope of doing something to counteract this, I have been taking counsel with Trench [Richard C. Trench] and some others; and have thought that a Protest, somewhat like the accompanying Draft, might be of great use, if, as we hope, it cd get a large body of signatures, weighty both from the character and from the number of signers'. What does WW think of such a measure and would he join it?

RCT [Professor of Divinity at Kings College, London] 'owed so much to yourself in the second edition of my little book [possibly 'On the Study of Words', 1851 or 'Exposition of the Sermon on the Mount drawn from the Writings of St. Augustine, with Observations', 2nd edition 1851 (1844)]. RCT is 'very much pleased that you had already recognized that curious process of word formation to which I have alluded, and am obliged for the future examples you have given'.

Herstmonceux - Thanks WW for his invitation to Cambridge but will not be able to come due to illness and various people visiting. The wife of John D.F. Maurice is extremely ill and may die. JCH presumes WW is lecturing this term on moral philosophy. 'Worsley [Thomas Worsley] & Trench [Richard C. Trench] are admirable additions to the theological strength of the university, & I hope will be good watchdogs against the Oxford hysteroproterites. I am very glad you concur so entirely with my church-views'.
