Scope and content
Mention of Samuel's son William placed fourth in the second class at Cambridge; hopes this is a 'pledge' of his doing well 'on the scene of honours'. (Jonathan Gray wrote to William Hey the same day, congratulating him on being 12th Wrangler). Discussion of movements among the clergy. William Gray cannot fathom the purpose. (They were possibly to counter the Oxford Movement initiated by Keble, Newman and Pusey in 1833.) His son Jonathan is well again. A recent election for a hospital post, one Russell having been appointed rather than Samuel Hey's nephew Richard Hey (see Jonathan's letter mentioned above).
