Autograph Letter Signed to Mr Humberstone,
telling him that his "letter had bad luck. It followed me into a remote corner of Wales, where I was under medical care, which did its best to prevent my attending to any letters ...

I have now got back to affairs and I see that the date for your nomination has past - I don't know that it matters, because I am not an Elector in the Arts or Science Faculties (but only in Laws), so that I could not properly, even if legally, have been one of your nominators ... I am ashamed to know so little about these elections to the Senate ...", 3 sides 8vo., 41 Grosvenor Road, Westminster Embankment, 15th September
