Regrets to hear of the death of JH's mother. Has lost many friends and relatives during the last eight years. Staying with his two sons and has retired so would welcome a visit from the Herschels.
His son Thomas has set out for France and he himself is in London to see the passage of a bill through Parliament. Would be grateful for letters of introduction to M.P.'s with which JH is acquainted.
James's daughter has improved in health and there are hopes for her recovery. Bill passed through the House of Commons successfully. Would be glad to receive letters of introduction to any members of the House of Lords with which JH may be acquainted.
