Content and context

Thanks her for her 'most kindly and valuable support of the petition made to the First Lord of the Treasury' by certain friends of Hales' on his behalf some weeks previously. Remarks on what a consolation it must be to her to see how HS' name and influence live on 'as his work is more and more fully realized'. Recalls how Professor Seeley once remarked to him of HS what a king he was amongst his contemporaries in Cambridge. Declares what a different place Cambridge seems without HS, and claims that meeting him was 'like breathing a purer and keener air'. Refers to his eagerness to show an interest in anything that merited interest, and his abiltity to clear up 'any perplexity of any worthy kind.' States that Professor Gardiner, Professor Seeley and HS 'are the three men who stood out in mind and character above all others....' Sends their love to Miss Clough, and states that they were sadly grieved to hear of her bereavement. Recalls that he owed his first introduction to her mother and to her aunt to HS in 1867, when a committee was choosing two lecturers - one from Oxford and one from Cambridge - to undertake courses of English history and literature in the province, and he [Hales] was proposed by HS 'as the Cambridge man'. Sends his and his wife's kindest regards to NS.
