JDH thanks Mrs Symonds & her husband for their kindness in regard to his marriage [to their daughter Lady Hyacinth Hooker née Symonds then Jardine]. Hyacinth is well & enjoying their honeymoon. They have climbed Cader Idris together, it is 3000 ft high & Hyacinth has proved an able mountaineer. They will go next to Llanberis for Snowdon, & afterwards to Chester & the North.
