Was not at home when JH's letter arrived. Appointment of John [JH's son] is to all intents JH's own, and Leslie Melville will sanction any appropriation JH may desire. Thinks that JH and his wife should consider the situation before embarking further.
Has seen Leslie Melville who can be relied on to give John [JH's son] the Addiscombe appointment.
Has judged wisely for Willie [JH's son] in the present uncertain state of his health. Theodore Hope has just returned from Madeira to take his place at College. Will visit the Herschels before they set out for the Pyrenees.
