Grateful for JH's assurance [that HH did not upset JH]. No draft for Mr. Mocatta is required today. E. W. Ward and HH will meet JH at Treasury tomorrow.
Bring H. D. Harness and E. W. Ward to meet with CT tomorrow to discuss report on Sydney branch mint.
The year has been peaceful for the Herschels and JH is doing little scientific work. Discusses the 'delusion' about 'turning tables,' which JH finds ridiculous.
