CH's news that Mrs. Jones is with Margaret Herschel relieves JH's anxiety. Questions treatment of Mr. Wolf's horse.
Sent JH's resignation proposal to both Lord Aberdeen [G. Hamilton-Gordon] and W. E. Gladstone yesterday. JH would have welcomed presidency of Board of Examiners one year earlier, but now desires only rest and recovery. Feels 'broken down.'
Recalls asking [Richard] Jones years ago if JH should seek public office. Jones was horrified, but suggested mastership of Mint as only suitable position. After four years in office, JH longs to escape it and return to family.
Tells CH about a Crimean War medal being ordered, the Mint not being allowed to design it, but is expected to produce it. JH feels placed in a very difficult position.
