Scope and Contents

Explains self very obscurely for a letter he wrote about Charles Campbell which seems to have offended the latter. Charles Campbell must have written about his disappointment in the Law, his failure to achieve greatness at the age of 29, his failure in the profession generally, Otway B. Barraud denies this and encourages him. Reacts to Charles Campbell's 3 ways of becoming great: 1) born 2) achieve 3) thrust upon. Spoke to Gwynn on Charles Campbell's behalf, who has offered Charles Campbell a place, hard work, rough fare, but should take it. Civil Engineer.
