J.A.Cramer (OW, vice principal St Alban Hall) to PE in Croydon, complaining of the disorderly and bestial habits of an undergraduate.
Thomas Burgess thanks PE for some copies of some papers.
Thomas Burgess encloses a paper, and seems to ask Oxford to contribute to the foundation of St David's College at Lampeter, in the same way that Cambridge has done.
J. Kidd regrets that he cannot be at home, and says he will call on the following day.
J. Kidd has heard that Alban Hall is vacant and that PE is a candidate for the Camden professorship. A besom is needed to sweep out the unclean birds which infest that place!
J. Kidd - perhaps, if PE takes over Alban Hall, he will be ineligible for the professorship, since his predecessor was also of Alban Hall. There is no rival candidate for the professorship, so otherwise it is a certainty - therefore delay taking over the Hall till after the election.
