45, London Road, Sevenoaks. - Thanks Trevelyan for sending his autograph for Davies' copy of the "Georgian Poets": was 'very silly' of him to start 'that kind of business', but since he had a few names 'in his possession' he decided to try to complete the set.

Compares the effect of the book on him to that which he experience on reading, as a young man, the biography of Charles Kingsley. Adds that he lived in Oxford not long before, and claims to have known Arthur Sidgwick's face on the street, and so read the book for his sake.

Itchenstoke - RCT wishes to offer himself as a candidate for the vacant Theological Professorship at Cambridge - 'that is, supposing that Archdeacon Hare [Julius Hare] should not be a candidate. Should he determine to offer himself for the post, in that case every motive of respect & affection to him, & of interest in the theological well being of my university, would hinder me from putting myself forward as competitor, (which would be absurd) with him. Perhaps I might have a line from you to say what steps I ought to take for the purpose of officially declaring myself a Candidate, & whether I ought to announce my intention to each one of the electors'. RCT took great pleasure in WW's (anonymous) review of his Sacred Latin Poetry - 'both for the articles sake itself, & for the sake of it, as coming from you'. He also thanks WW for his volume on Induction: 'The subject lies only too far out of the line of my studies; but I can still perceive how much is at issue, how much more than at first sight might seem, in your differences with Mill [John S. Mill]. My sympathies, (I dare not in my ignorance of the subject use a stronger word) are altogether with you'.
