Summary
Telling Knight that he would be happy to second him for the Athenaeum Club, that he hopes the "St. Andrews difficulties" will be resolved, and that he has not yet received his copy of the "Addresses" (perhaps Knight's "Rectorial addresses delivered at the University of St. Andrews", published in 1894).
