| Content and context |
| (Trinity College, Cambridge.) Thanks them for the gift of a dressing-gown. Is much better. Has been for a walk with Cayley and got through his Whewell lecture-'one of a course that Sidgwick has organized'-without ill effects, though it was much harder than his ordinary lectures. There is concern that the Lords may gain enough time to get the Tests Bill shelved again, but the Master and Appleton have given good evidence before the committee. Is sorry that his parents cannot come up, though he is keen to work on some equations. Maxwell comes to see him often and gives him ideas. Hopes they are both better. 'Kate is to stay with you when I am at home.' |
