Reports that Professor Conington, who is a Life Governor has placed a Marlborough nomination at his disposal, and that she may tell Mr Horton if she wishes. Advises her, however, that if the boy does not do well enough to get the scholarship it will probably be not worth while for Horton to send him there. States that he intends the �30 annually for two years had better be spent in some other way, i.e., in giving the boy a decent education. With regard to Miss Horton, suggests that she should be engaged in some employment 'less exhausting than governessing', such as being a companion to an elderly lady. States that he could enquire about such a position through Dr Symonds.
