Schuster says he is going to see you soon about Hons Physics question. I send him a no. of suggested questions for you to modify. He will bring them you (ID sheets). Also I send a brief summary of what my candidate is able to do. He is very anxious to get a first class. He has some chance I think. If he doesn't break down with over work and write books. He won't take exercise and lately has written some books. Some months back he was very hopeful.
Enclosed from my brother of [a?] to saying that he was talking pedagogy and you were thinking of real scientific work. Tear it up. Please see that you have my questions before you when setting- as well as those of other colleges so can there be any sort of uniformity or fairness of standard.
