To Thomas Martin 22 May 1858

My dear Sir,

I am much obliged by your act. of Mr Luxford– & for his flora of Reigate – Such accounts are extremely useful – I have just received No. 1 of a similar one for Hertfordshire – I am writing & printing a Syllabus as my Lectures proceed, & will send you a copy for yourself & for him when complete – I find no one in Cambridge inclined to sign our memorial to Ld. Jn. unless the plan proposed for the new examinations sd. be rejected next term – when several will be ready to do so – I have not yet encountered any of our very determined opponents – but had a long talk with our Vice Chancellor on the subject. There are now 224 signatures & many more are expected to be added (I find) after the Meeting projected for the 27th.

Yours very truly

J. Henslow
