Summary:
Smith's candidature for Botany Professorship at Cambridge University. Everyone convinced Smith has best scientific claim for the professorship. Promised to give his own vote to [Richard] Relhan and solicited to give a second vote should Relhan concede in favour of Brook, but as Relhan now unlikely to contest unsure what to do. Will canvas for Smith with any voters he meets.
