My dear Henslow

Your examination papers have duly come to hand—

I do not think that the Board of Medical Studies can take cognizance of fees for lectures, but I am quite of your opinion that no certificate of attendance on lectures should be given unless the Professorial ticket has been produced or the fee paid: and, if made acquainted with the circumstance, I would myself present no candidate for his medical degree who had not paid all his fees— None of D r Humphry’s pupils belong to my class, or as far as I know, intend to proceed to a medical degree—but they should notwithstanding be made to pay up—

I think your fee is too low—

I take this opportunity of thanking you for allowing my daughter to attend your lectures under the charge of M r Cookson, and I hope they have derived as much advantage as I am sure they did gratification from the privilege—

Believe me | yours very truly |H J H Bond
