AH's father, Lord Aberdeen [G. Hamilton-Gordon] misunderstood JH, who never meant to suggest that office of deputy master of Mint was unnecessary. JH intended to stress that some responsibilities could be borne by only the Master.
Lord Aberdeen [George Hamilton-Gordon] will see JH at 11 o'clock this morning.
Soldiers are suffering in this unhealthy country for want of occupation. Hopes he has been able to lighten his duties at the Mint. Administration seems inefficient in the supply to the troops.
Would like a letter from JH giving him authority to have the box to open. Is busy with the Report.
Sorry to have given him the trouble over the box; sends the required letter. Unfair of the Times to blame AH for the disasters in the Crimea.
Has been very busy; otherwise he would have acknowledged his cheque before. Is glad to hear better news from India. Bad organization for the arming of the British troops in India.
