Enjoyed 'good dancing account' of JH from Sophy [Sophia Baldwin?].
SW's nephew Henry White is coming to Cambridge with message from [servant] Sally, who misses JH.
[SW's servant] Sally celebrates JH's birthday every year and longs to see JH again.
Invites JH, her godson, to sit for new likeness by same artist who drew him before. Cannot accept JH's mother's invitation to Slough.
Asks JH to be trustee of SW's and her husband's will.
Asks JH to befriend nephew Henry White, scholar and missionary at Cambridge. Asks about Mary Baldwin. When will JH visit again? [JH annotation: Asked William Whewell to call on Henry White.]
Thanks JH for ring of deceased Mary Herschel. Would like to see JH's children, but age confines SW.
