From C. P. Scott to G. H. Darwin 3 November 1875

Dear Darwin

It has occurred to me that perhaps you may be willing to act as our Cambridge correspondent. At present we receive our Cambridge University intelligences from an ordinary local reporter, & for the official intelligence of class lists [&c] [this] arrangement is adequate. I sh^d. like, however, in addition to this, to receive an account of the more important matters transacted in the Senate and congregations together with frequent information of matters of general interest discussed or done in the University—lastly occasional formal letters catering more fully into some special topic such as University Extension. I don't know whether you will have time or inclination to undertake anything of this sort, but I shall be particularly glad if you do incline. Our terms I should say are £30 a year for the ordinary news (class lists [&c] can be easily arranged for with the clerk of the Schools) and gossip, and two guineas a [illeg] for the letters.

Yours very truly | [C.] Scott

G. H. Darwin Esq.
