- The writer is unaware of the full circumsatances, but believes the story is 'too public, too atrocious, to admit of his returning to Cambridge...' '...the law seems to be barred, a cloud must for ever cover his character...' 'Had he possessed a grain of courage, when he stabbed the woman, another blow should have been directed against himself.' - Discusses possible future careers for Herbet following this event and seeks William's advice. - Postscript refers to the election at Cardiff.
