JH is apologizing for harsh words he inadvertently used, whereby he hurt MH.
Sending a volume of poetry by D. P. Starkey and would like JH's views on its merits. Is recovering slowly from an illness.
Met U. J. J. Leverrier, F. G. W. Struve, and George Peacock at the gate of Trinity College; has arranged for Leverrier and Struve to visit Collingwood.
JH has organized something [?] special, and he believes it will come off.
Mostly about the health of Elizabeth Baily; JH ends his letter with a silly riddle.
