Coming to Slough at Lady Herschel's invitation.
Per JH's request, DW wrote to Alfred Chalon inquiring about miniature portraits. Quotes prices. Lists names of satisfied patrons.
Please arrange for JH to join DW, Dr. [Thomas?] Chalmers, and possibly Captain Carnigh for dinner. Chalmers wanted to visit William Herschel in Windsor but cannot, and would at least like to meet JH before going to meet [William?] Wilberforce.
