Expresses great sorrow at the death of Richard Sheepshanks; JH has been ill for many months.
Was pleased to see his handwriting again especially as he had heard that JH had died. Elizabeth Baily was upset by the death of Richard Sheepshanks. Will be going down for the funeral tomorrow and hopes to meet G. B. Airy and William Simms. Both of JH's daughters have corresponded with him over his health.
