My Dear Talbot
Coddington is gone home partly to see the governor1 & partly to escape the fever which fever I shall entirely despise & stay here to the end of the vacation–2 such at least is my present intention if it changes I will advertize you – The prizes are very scarce so value them – The Printers devil with a load for “heads of houses full bachelors &c was waylaid & upset at the entrance of the senate house by the rude canaille of bluegowns & Mr Vice was obliged to construe as best he could without a book–3 I got an English4 & Thomas Thope [sic]5 a Greek one in the scramble, like you have6
Success to the new method Whewell 7 says the centenary will bother it or in more scientific phraseology vitiate the results.
Yours Ever
