Scope and content
Details his achievements since his retirement, in order to reassure Glover that he will have plenty to do when he leaves the post of Public Orator. Mentions his meeting with Canon Raven and their conversation about their friendship with Glover. Praises Glover's reminiscent essay on Cambridge. Refers to his own 'sort of autobiography'. Sends news of Edgar Goodspeed and Can, both retired. Hopes that Glover is writing a book, but not one like the 'alleged detection novels' of Moffat and Goodspeed.
