RJ will be delayed in London on business and therefore will not be able to get to WW. RJ mentioned WW's 'plan of a protest to the Archbishop and to the Bishop of London[.] The Archbishop says no. The Bishop of London seemed struck by it and said he would consider and talk with the Archbishop about it. The third reading will be the right time - as it is not meant to oppose the measure'. RJ is feeling confident about his course of lectures. Robert Peel 'carries all before him stoutly but he is in a false position in some respects and I fear for the sake of conservatism that we shall see a reaction'. WW will be pleased to see Edward Ryan in a few months - 'he will be as strong as if he had never been in India'.
