Jokes about WH's recent 'astronomical insignificance.'
Highly recommends a [William H.] Harvey (formerly Government Treasurer at the Cape) for the professorship of botany at Dublin.
Has been delayed in congratulating WH on pension by a delightful visit from Maria Edgeworth. Praises highly verses sent by WH's sister to Lady Herschel.
