Is to travel to Coniston Water and would like to visit JWW at Blackburn on the way. Has been to the 'late Election' (at Cambridge) and voted for Banks. States that 'the College is much changed for the worse' with 'little harmony amongst the Residents'. Gives news of St John's, the disappearance of the Master and the Bursar, the appearance of New Court, 'a noble pile', and the absence of many of their mutual acquaintances. Also discusses a living which has become vacant in Norfolk.
