Summary
Concerning Knight's application for the Athenæum; saying "I will do my best for you at the Athenæum - I most honestly think you deserve it & I will do it with pleasure, but the Committee is a very uncertain Body & I do not belong to it & have now very little influence there - I hope that you may be able to be presented to them as Principal of S. Andrews."
