Scope and content

As he does not have an address for Sir John Davis, Sewell asks Mercer to communicate to him that the University proposes to confer upon him the honorary degree of Doctor of Civil Law, and wishes to know if he could be present on Wednesday 21 June in the Sheldonian Theatre to receive the degree, which is in recognition of his service to English interests in China and of his endeavours to promote greater knowledge of China's literature, language and history.
