Hopes that JH will apply for the vacant position at the University.
Sending an appointment [probably V-P of R.S.L.], which will please every member of the R.S.L. Unable to be in London on the 10th, when Henry Kater will be at the breakfast at the Club. Hopes to attend on the 17th.
Was glad to see the clause in Dr. Thomas Plume's will. Sees many advantages in the professorship at Cambridge, but still adheres to his former decision not to apply for the position.
