Summary
Discussing an upcoming visit of Knight's to Cambridge; explaining that it may be difficult to find him lodgings as "the Boat Races begin on that very night & beds are at a premium"; recommending that Knight schedule appointments before he arrives as it is a "time when people are so much at sixes & sevens with visitors and holidaying"; thanking him for a letter and wondering if "W[illiam?] Morris would say something in same vein -- not denunciatory -- if you sent him a line. I do not like to appeal from within the College any farther."
