My dear Knights,
Be so good as to read my letter to Sidney & forward it. You can, if you please, take a copy of it & lay it before [illeg. ripped] the Council, for I should be sorry they shd suppose me unwilling to come over when Sidney makes such a point of it. It is a strange fancy on his part - & making such a sort of obligation to me of his lecturing, which I don't exactly like - as it looks something like laying a claim upon me to lecture at Sudbury in return. I went this year to return an obligation incurred last year (which I cd not then fulfil - & was very much inconvenienced).
Yrs very truly
J. S. Henslow
