William Whewell is still alive, but struggling. Dr. [Gilbert] French has died suddenly.
Thinks William Whewell's excitement may be a 'precursor to exhaustion.' The hope of recovery is very slight. JH is interested in Whewell's article on Plato.
Detached postscript that refers to the behavior of William Whewell before his death.
Editor of the Leisure Hour would like an article on the Correlation of the Physical forces. Would JH be prepared to write such an article?
