From W. H. Miller   28 February 1856

My dear Henslow,

It appears to be tolerably obvious that it will not do to give the candidates for honours in the Natural Sciences tripos three examinations of three hours each in one day, as you propose to do on Wednesday March 5. I cannot give any notice which implies such a days work for them. Since neither Tuesday not Thursday afternoon suits your convenience I must decline responsibility for giving notice of the day and hour on which the botanical examination is to take place.

I remain |my dear Henslow | very truly yours | W. H. Miller
