My dear Henslow
I hoped before this time to have received from you the draft of a letter to the Professors which I gave you, and the information whether the 27 th of this month would suit you for holding another meeting, as that draft proposed. I should be obliged if you will send me the draft and the information as soon as you can.
I find that you have sent to the ex V.C. your report on the result of the examination of the three best Candidates for the Curatorship of the Botanical Garden. The present V.C. will bring on the election as soon as he can. I presume the new Provost of King’s, not having attended to the previous stages, will not take part in it.
Pray give my kind remembrances to Mrs Henslow and your girls and believe me
Yours very truly | W Whewell
