Summary
Writing that there is little or no chance he will be in St. Andrews that year, and that, moreover, he cannot help Knight with the passage of "proposed Rules with regard to Caddies" because he is not a member of the "Royal & Ancient" (referring to the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews).
