I rejoice in your ward-mote exertions, and I beg you will not think that I am indifferent to them.

On Wednesday I have to attend a meeting of our Professors here which will interfere with the Wardmote.... I exceedingly want presence of mind, if there is any tumult, so as to remember quickly enough what is to be said. Against a mob I could _act_ with firmness, but I could not speak with promptitude. Moreover, I suffer physically from the air of a crowded room, and never go to _hear_ a speech when there is a chance of my being able to _read_ it.
