From J. D. Hooker 15 June 1872
Summary
Expects the memorial to make Gladstone frantic. Government regrets granting Lord Derby the correspondence and Lubbock has been advised to postpone calling for it in Lower House. This looks fishy. Is exhausted by the affair.

Summary
William [Hooker] is in first division of matriculation list of London University.
