Has invited Charles Grant (Baron Glenelg) to breakfast tomorrow; will JH join them?
Is grateful for his letter regarding the Portland vase; has shown it to Peel, who has agreed to introduce a short bill to protect such properties. Will read JH's letter to the Trustees.
Solicitor General is to introduce a Bill for the better protection of 'things' in Museums. Does not include the National Gallery. The culprit in the Portland vase incident was an Irish student. Is JH dining at the R.S.L. Club on the 27th?
Will find certain friends at the R.S.L. Club on Thursday, including Edward Everett, the American Minister in England.
