JH's exertions and friendship are a treasure. Will visit them on Monday next.
Has begged Edward Ryan to see JH and have a consultation about some of RJ's affairs, which he would like to settle. Pleased to hear that Willy [Herschel] is doing so well.
Wished Edward Ryan to consult JH regarding [G. H. Gordon (4th Earl of Aberdeen)]. as he knows him better. Will not make any move until he has consulted Sir James Graham. Unable to manage Monday, but any day after will suit him. Mrs. Jones is very depressed and needs a change of air.
Still holds opinion that RJ expressed last night, but would speak to Lord A. [Aberdeen?] soon if RJ does not hear from Lord A.
Thanks for RJ's 'unwearied vigour and activity of mind.'
Is taking RJ's admonitions to heart, and along with taking quinine and staying at home, JH feels that his nervous system is being restored.
RJ's letter to William Whewell helped JH understand why public panic creates pressure for more money. Asks for RJ's opinion about concurrent circulation of gold and silver. Gives example of this 'compound tender' or 'binary standard' that haunts JH.
Invites RJ to visit. Wishes to discuss matter [of political economy] presented to RJ by [Edward] Ryan. Comments on examination system at Haileybury College, advising RJ to 'teach boldly.'
