Discusses his position at Cambridge, which is apparently under threat.
Reports the passing of [Universities Tests] Bill and the consequent end to a bother.
Directs RM and Charles Pritchard to examine late JH's manuscript on history of double stars, sent to Radcliffe Observatory.
JDH informs his wife Frances Hooker, that he has arrived at Tangier having taken a slow boat, the 'Lady Havelock', from Mogadore [Essaouira]. He now hopes to transfer to a China passenger ship bound for London, called the 'Burmah', which will provide a faster passage. [Edward] Crump will complete the journey to England on the 'Lady Havelock' with the luggage.
