Urges a visit to Collingwood by CB. Refers to the development of a cypher.
Accepts dinner invitation.
JH talks about visits he has made in London, and about plans to return to Collingwood.
Mostly about JH's return from London. [Seems to have been written after JH's 1846-5-8.]
Thanks for WW's Lectures on Systematic Morality. Announces the birth of another daughter [Francisca]. Working on Cape Results.
Agrees to WW's request [that JH's translation of Friedrich Schiller's 'The Walk' be included in WW's planned volume?]. Regrets missing [C. K. J.] Bunsen's speech. Busy editing N. L. Lacaille's catalogue.
