Summary:
Smith's candidature for Botany Professorship at Cambridge University. Confirms that the election is open rather than his previous assumption that the heads of the colleges named two out of the candidates. Experience of his own election. Ready to resign in Smith's favour, advises Smith on how to proceed from this point, advising him to begin canvassing in London to use his popularity there. Received letters from [Richard] Relhan but not in relation to professorship.
