From W. H. Miller   19 March 1853

19 March 1853

Dear Henslow,

You are probably aware that G. Currey formerly assistant tutor of St Johns Coll. Is a candidate for the office of Classical Ex r of London Univ y

I have been acquainted with Currey from the time he commenced reading as an undergraduate, and have always had reason to entertain the highest opinion of his good sense, sound judgment and application to business, qualities that render him better suited for the office of Examiner than many a man whose career in Classics was much more brilliant than his. He was 4 th Classic in Lord Lyttleton’s year and obtained a good place in the list of wranglers–

I am sorry that I did not see you during your late visit to Cambridge

Your very truly | W. H. Miller
