Thanks JH for saving her from publishing a fault-filled book. Describes eruptions of Vesuvius. Agnes [Greig] enjoyed visiting the Herschels. MS wishes she could see them again.
Congratulations on fine Dante translation. Met [John] Tyndall and enjoyed his company. Has made several changes in her book [Molecular and Microscopic Science]. Is 'quite well for her age.'
Congratulations on marriage of JH's daughter [Amelia]. Is writing her autobiography. Interested in solar eclipses, and says more will be known through photography and spectrum analysis.
