Grateful for JH's correction of CT's error in pension for G. F. G. Mathison [see CT's 1851-11-14]. This was CT's first such error in 25 years of public service.
G. F. G. Mathison called on CT yesterday to discuss error in Mathison's pension. Will finalize this after CT receives report from JH and Henry Rich.
Bring report by R. L. Sheil when JH and H. D. Harness visit CT to discuss amalgamation of Coining and Machinery departments. Congratulations on 'remarkable distinction' obtained by JH's son [William] at Haileybury College, CT's alma mater.
Has returned to Treasury. JH and H. D. Harness may call whenever convenient.
Treasury commissioners approve compensation by Paymaster-general to G. F. G. Mathison for loss of earnings due to abolition of refinery at Mint.
Chancellor of Exchequer [Charles Wood] will not need to discuss JH's draft of 'Estimate' until after New Year's Day.
