Autograph Letter Signed to Henry Fawcett.
12mo, 4 pp. Good, on lightly aged and creased paper. The 'appointment of examiners' is entirely a matter for 'the Commissioners of Intermediate Education'. However Trevelyan will be glad 'to send the papers on to the proper quarter, and will do so accordingly'. He is 'much obliged' to Fawcett for his 'kind expressions about my proceedings here. It is a very queer post, and I always feel as if on the brink of an appalling escape.' He has been 'much struck' with the success of Fawcett's policy at Trinity College, Dublin. The Trevelyans 'spent some days in Salisbury in 1879. On the whole, I doubt whether anything in the world is more beautiful than the close and the Bishop's Garden. Giotto's tower is as beautiful in itself: but the setting of Salisbury is incomparable.'
