Is not well and is planning a holiday. Will be in the vicinity of Hawkhurst next Saturday and would like to visit JH.
Has been troubled with his face again. Regarding the Scotch ale, which can be obtained to order in London. Saw J. F. Encke in town and he has now sailed. Francis Jeff[re]y (Lord Jeffrey) has been staying at Haileybury and speaks much of JH.
Has just returned from Ely, where George Peacock is very happy and prosperous. Gives news of other scientific friends. Hawkhurst tithes have been peaceably settled.
Sorry that JH missed RJ at W. H. Fitton's. Offers proposal to modify property taxation procedures to yield 'taxation by payments downward' and to decrease load on poorer classes.
