Is arranging a meeting with CB.
Recent loss [death of his mother] has put the controversies temporarily aside. Gives further news of various matters which affect him. Feels angry at David Brewster's manner.
Regarding CB's failure in political matters. Sees cause for congratulation. Would he tell him where he can see the manufacture of springs.
Will attend CB's dinner on Wednesday. Can JH bring his brother-in-law? Will call at CB's house before the dinner.
