Summary
Asking if he would "...take an opportunity of giving young Sellars a little talking to about his work - I was speaking to his late Master here & he says he requires sometimes to be a little 'woke up' about his work - He is a passionate reader of novels & once or twice has flagged a little in his work, w'h has been put right by a good talking to. I think if you were to be so kind as give him a bit of advice, it would have the desired effect[.] He can work well & I think the first time of so called independence may have caused him to lose his head a little."
