Happened to meet JH's wife, Margaret; was very pleased to see her in such good health. Has heard a rumor about a Bank of England resolution on decimalization [see GA's 1852-3-15].
The Bank of England will start to deal with weights of precious metals in decimals only [see GA's 1852-10-23]. JH responds to a letter in the Times about the shortage of silver coins.
