Spent three weeks in London with Erasmus.
Entomologised with Hope, Stephens, and G. R. Waterhouse.
Cambridge is very quiet, men reading at a wonderful pace. Dined with Sir J. Mackintosh.
Has ordered a cabinet for his insects; hopes WDF will soon come to Cambridge to see his collection. Has exchanged specimens with Leonard Jenyns.
Had an enjoyable week at "Darwin Hotel" during Hunt Week, with two balls, etc., but missed CD.
CD has passed his "Little Go".
CD will remain in Cambridge during the whole vacation.
J. F. Stephens has been ill; hence no recent publications.
Has seen a good deal of J. S. Henslow.
Very sorry WDF was obliged to go to Cheltenham with his parents instead of coming to Cambridge, for the weather is fine, the beetles numerous. Adds news of friends and facts about his collection of insects.
Thinks of reading divinity with Henslow the summer after next.
Glad WDF will visit him in Shrewsbury.
Hope visited CD; he and T. C. Eyton want CD to join them on an entomological trip to N. Wales; can WDF come?
William Yarrell has discovered a new wild swan in England; CD has had bad specimen of it stuffed for WDF.
Adds brief news of friends.
Has been in N. Wales two weeks, having gone with Hope and two Eytons. Not many good insects; disillusioned with Hope, found him egotistical and stupid.
Hopes WDF will stay in Cambridge until after CD arrives.
Some entomological news.
Papa has been expecting CD to come and slay some partridges.
Has heard CD has a horse 18½ hands high.
