Plans to arrive tomorrow for visit.
Explains how CB responded to JH's request that CB be a trustee for marriage settlement, prior to JH's marriage to Miss Gwatkin. Will meet the Gwatkins at Friday's party. Hopes to find time to speak to JH about this in private. Declines to pursue the course requested by William and Mary Pitt Herschel until JH confides more in CB.
Writes to parents to say that JH is well, his head has healed, and he is looking forward to his holidays.
Hopes that JH's mother has had a pleasurable time in London; JH's class went to see Mrs. Mason's (?) baby.
A thank you note for clothes, written at school [Mr. Bull's], and requesting that JH's cyphering and music books be sent.
