Hears that JH wishes to be known to Dr. John Murray, so encloses a letter of introduction. Will find him a pleasant and amiable man.

Regarding the affair of Dr. Andrew Smith, who has done good work with an expedition. Thinks it desirable that Smith should be given leave of absence to return to England and write up the expedition.
JH has no need to apologize for bringing before him the case of Dr. Andrew Smith. Heard the news from Dr. John Murray. Will press Smith's request in the appropriate quarter. JH should address his request to Benjamin D'Urban.
Has recently received JM's letter and is pleased to find recognition of scientific merit. Welcomes his promised help. Does not feel justified in approaching Benjamin D'Urban on the subject.
