My dear Sir

It has occurred to me that we might adopt a plan by which we could secure certain points of contact and comparison, which obeying the directions of the council to set long papers: viz: by marking with asterisks a few of the most important questions and requesting the boys to on no account to omit answering those questions to [2] the best of their ability, selecting from the others such as they could answer best.

Very truly yours | W. G. Clark [signature]
