Urgently persuades PE to take care of himself, and before he returns to Oxford to consult Dr Paris of Dover Street (John Ayrton Paris) - no reason why he and Kidd (Regius Professor should not work together, despite separation of 56 miles. PE to tell Kidd that his salary as Regius Professor is now payable at the Exchequer.

Pleased at a letter from PE - then shocked to see that it was dictated to his niece. Regards from Hallam. Proposes a visit - will stop by Dropmore on the way back.
