Lovingly describes various events regarding JH's children and relatives.
Brief note about JH's travel to Slough and the need to come back to London soon.
JH and the baby are getting along well; JH talks about cholera; is 'almost certain I had the comet in the [JH's telescope's] field.'
All is well in the household; JH is to chair the cholera committee for the parish, which includes inoculation for all committee members and an oath to treat the sick if nurses cannot be found; JH is receiving political pamphlets [which he ridicules], after Lord John Russell cited JH as an authority in parliament.
