Summary
Informing him that he has passed along his letter to Sir G. Trevelyan as he [Bryce] has "...nothing to do with the Crown patronage in Scotland;" adding that he has "...heard a good deal of Oliver Elton and all to his credit. I have no doubt he would make an excellent professor. But of course I don't know what the other candidates may be."
