Thanks WS for 'kind expressions on my behalf.' Believes these may be the last words he may write.
Has had a letter from Melbourne University, with instructions to transfer all the money to Melbourne's agent in London [see GA's 1855-5-30]; JH is slowly recovering.
Thanks for ER's help in obtaining appointment for Duncan Stewart. JH has been unable to stand up for five months; must write in supine position.
