(Charles, 1819-1875, Novelist, Regius Professor of Modern History at Cambridge, 1860-1869)
Autograph letter signed to ’Dear Mr Vice Chancellor’
hoping that he will not be “doing a rude thing in asking you to excuse me from your dinner... I cannot but feel that on such an occasion, I ought to consider your invitation as something of an official command, as well as a mark of private hospitality & kindness. But it will be quite impossible for me to be in Cambridge that week... my engagements being, unfortunately, such as to prevent my attending the Installation - as, I need not say, I had much wanted to do... I confess that is is to me a disappointment. i only hope that it may not seem, to you, or to his Grace, something worse...”, 3 sides 8vo.., Eversley Rectory, 24th May

Autograph letter signed to 'My dear Mr Vice Chancellor'
saying that the "honour which you put upon me is quite unexpected but I will do my best. It will be a labour of love to me, because first, I hope that I shall be allowed to make some allusion to the Prince Consort & his virtues, & ext, because I know a great deal of, & respect most deeply, the Duke of Devonshire. Mrs Kingsley's nephew married his niece, so that I have had many opportunities of knowing how worthy & useful a man he is. I will put myself immediately in communication with Professor Sterndale Bennett, as it is only by our working together that the ode can be satisfactorily arranged, but unfortunately I do not know his address in town. If you could spare time from your many duties so far as to inform me, I should be exceedingly obliged. I suppose that I should submit the ode to you before finally sending it out. If so, I will send you a Mss as soon as possible ...", 4 sides 8vo.., with original autograph envelope front Eversley Rectory, 5th March
