Gives thanks for a letter containing the tripos papers and asks for the problem papers as well. Congratulates JWW on his place on 'the list'. Asks for news of all his friends in Cambridge, notes that 'Roscoe is not very well. His poem has been taken slight notice of in Drakard';s Sunday Paper.' Gives news of his acquaintances in London, including Herschel, Hegg and Newmarch, who 'is as fat as a porpoise.'
