Was agreeably surprised by the communication in Lady Herschel's letter; did not expect any pension. Outlines his ideas for careers for some members of his own family. India and the Services seem the best propositions. Does not expect much from the observations of Venus in Chile unless the definition is good.
Accepts position as Master of Mint. Asked Chancellor of Exchequer [Charles Wood] to specify housing arrangements for JH. Will reside with friend [Eneas Mackintosh] at 17 Montague Square until JH hears from JR.
