Thanks WW for sending him the Supplement [probably 'The Influence of the History of Science upon Intelectual Education', 1854]: 'I find myself deep in Ethics and Metaphysics I feel as if I had got back into my youth - for many years are gone since I read anything in that line'. He is pleased to hear that Cordelia Whewell's health is improving.

Notes on Chas. Scarborough, ironmonger, smiths, tinners & braziers in Cambridge; a riddle; notes on praise of Whewell as a divine.

Itchenstoke - RCT apologises for his unceremonious leavetaking at Trinity Lodge last week, but he felt he should make room for late comers. He has been informed by the Bishop of Oxford, 'a few days since, of the purpose of Government to issue such a Commission [into the universities] as you have alluded to. Indeed he spoke of it, & apparently with knowledge, as already issued. He did not think that Ministers had any purpose of again attempting to compel the universities to admit Dissenters - but that the expressed purpose of the commission would be to enquire whether the universities could not be made, as regarded the members of the Church, more adequate to the needs of the present time. I am not aware whether the Bishop knew who the members of the commission were or would be. He only stated that no one concerned with the University Education would have any place on it - & that it would contain a good number of sufficiently unfriendly names'.

Nymeguen, 85 Waldeck Pyrmontsingel - Re: her wish for Kruyt to arrange some lectures in Holland after May, he has not much influence with scholars in Holland as he was in the Dutch Indies most of his life, but where he has enquired he has been told they cannot arrange lectures so soon; the books are not translated in Dutch, but scholars read them in English, and publishers are afraid a Dutch translation will not sell.
