Has placed Mr. Yorke's room at JH's disposal; gives times of meals.
People do not consider JH vain. If JH wants to give his [portrait of JH; see JH's 1847-7-1] to people, this would not be considered vanity on his part. Gives impressions of U. J. J. Leverrier after meeting him at the Royal Observatory.
Sending a volume of poetry by D. P. Starkey and would like JH's views on its merits. Is recovering slowly from an illness.
