Has been confined to the house and only goes out in a wheelchair. Would JH like the bust of Sir Joseph Banks?
JH is captivated by science of photography. Has blundered onto 'Calotype leaving out [W. H. F.] Talbot's principal ingredient!!' [Note added by daughter Isabella Herschel:] Papa is in hurry. Greetings to family.
It will be difficult for JH to get away to Collingwood as planned as discussions [?] are slow; some family news.
Compliments MH on her poetry; JH is trying to clarify when various friends are to visit Collingwood.
