Is grateful for JH's translation of Homer, which he values. Regrets to see JH's son so fatigued.
Many thanks for sending the seeds of Wellingtonia. Has two Cryptomerias also grown from seed. Was much interested in Alexander's lecture.
Many thanks for his kind inquiries after the health of the General. Appreciates JH's kindness to his son when at Slough. Did JH see John Dawson's (2nd Earl of Portarlington) prophecy of fine weather?
