1 letter, paper (3 pages)

Letter from Charles Kingsley to Revd Samuel Jackson [Dean of Magdalene College].

He had failed John Nicholson but had promised him another examination in October. His Tutor, Hadley of St John's, had advised that the examination had to take place next Monday but he [Kingsley] was unable to attend on that day as his curate was ill and he was busy. He asked if Jackson knew who his other examiner was.

He had asked [Mynors] Bright for rooms for when he was able to come up for two weeks but there were only garret ones available which didn't suit him. He would take lodgings but come into College for meals.
