Informing him of his position in the examinations, and offering congratulations.
Has been visiting Gibraltar, Malta, and the Vatican City. Comments on the sights.
Has not heard from him lately, though he wrote last year from Rome and gave him a resume of his travels. William Crackanthorpe is a good companion. The pavilion is being rapidly built. Would like JH to accept hospitality at his house. Gives news of friends.
Was pleased to receive JH's farewell letter. Would be glad when JH was in town if he would call on Gordon's father and mother. Has left copies of the translation of the Memoir of Mr. De La Harpe. Gives an extract of a letter from Naples.
