Writes to MH to insist that JH not come to the meeting [see JH's 1854-3-23].
Mrs. Newton, MH's servant, is being sued by a man who recommended her for the job, and JH is to be a witness in MH's stead.
Mostly about the court case [see JH's 1854-3-22]; it appears the plaintiff lost.
Mostly about a Mrs. [J. A.] Gordon, who has suffered a personal loss [death of her husband], and a young man who seems to be lost.
Is looking forward anxiously to coming to Collingwood on Friday; the Mint had a surprise visit from the Queen this day.
Comments on the health of MH and daughters Margaret Louisa and Francisca, and then JH complains of his own health problems.
