Will look for letters from JH in RG's father's papers.
What should he do with the letters received previously from her?
Is sending a packet of letters. Relates about the loss of his wife.
Has been trying to collect letters of her husband as she intends writing a memoir on him [Memoir of Augustus De Morgan (London, 1882)]. Would be grateful if she could borrow any of his letters to JH.
Was just leaving home when her note arrived. If the letters have not been already dispatched send them in a few weeks' time.
Sending 35 letters, has 20 more that she will send later if she would like to see them. Wishes she had the photographs of insects. Thinks an appendix of all the riddles would be amusing.
Has received the packet of letters and has chosen 28 of them. Quite understands that some of the more personal ones should not be included in the memoir. Her strength does not seem equal to the task. Hopes to show the true events connected with University College. Budget of Paradoxes is ready for the press.
Will send a large number of the remaining letters next week. Would be grateful if she would put them in order. The Budget of Paradoxes [of Augustus De Morgan] has been pleasant but difficult work owing to the printers' strike.
Letters arrived on Monday and will be kept safe. Feels envious at Miss Herschel's forthcoming visit to Rome. Mentions a friend she may meet there. Work progresses slowly.
Has sent off the last of the letters. Anne Sheepshanks is 83 and still clear in the head. If she visits the Royal Academy, she will see the bust of Augustus De Morgan there.
Provides details of JH's health, which is very tenuous, but seems to be improving.
Writes of the gentle, peaceful nature of JH's death that morning in the presence of many of the family.
Would like an order from Sir John to allow him to read in the British Museum.
