Comments on the publication of several volumes.
Thanks for the additional subscription to the Rifle Corps. Regrets that he could not attend due to indisposition.
Has just returned from town and found JH's letter in Greenwood's volumes. Looks forward with pleasure to perusing the volumes.
Is obliged for letting him see Greenwood's letter about the book, but he did not himself write the review; it was written by an eminent scholar in that field.
Regrets to hear that he proposes to retire from the captaincy of the Hawkhurst Company of the Rifle Volunteers.
