Asks JH's opinion of an anonymous book [WW's Of the Plurality of Worlds: An Essay]. Describes it written 'very fairly' but as presenting views very different from JH's.
Comments on Of the Plurality of Worlds: An Essay. Suspects it is by WW. Disagrees with many parts, but finds some sections 'striking.' Laments that he has no time for intellectual matters, punning that he must concentrate on 'making money.'
Describes the abilities and special interests of JH's son Alexander, who, JH hopes, will enter Trinity College, Cambridge, in Oct. 1855.
