Summary:

Writes at the end of a very busy day of meetings, which was capped by a meeting in the Senate House, where Roderick Murchison spoke very eloquently, and Samuel Wilberforce thanked him even more eloquently, supporting the findings of geology in so doing. In the last part of the letter marked 'Private', JH expresses concern about the conduct of 'W. W.' [William Whewell?].
