Letter of introduction for Lord Mackenzie and Mrs Mackenzie. They want to visit Cambridge and examine 'something of the mode of conducting the studies of the place' prior to sending their son to Trinity.

Being by far the minority in point of numbers, education in this college must I fear have somewhat of a sectarian cast'.
