From H. J. H. Bond   23 October 1856

My dear Professor

I think I may relieve you of the apprehension of any trouble in the approaching medical Examination, as I do not think there is likely to be any Candidate who has not already passed the Examination in Botany—

Next Monday is the last day on which notice can be sent me of the intention of any Candidate to offer himself for Examination & if there should be any who have not been already examined by you I will give you the earliest intelligence of it

Believe me | yours truly |H J H. Bond
