Hoping that JH's goodness will help WG out of difficulty.
Left 'proof plate' of William Herschel at JH's residence last week. Kept it in cottage for long time. Hopes it will find 'a better place' with JH.
Is applying for the position of actuary at the Law Life Assurance Society and would be glad of a letter of recommendation from JH; please direct a letter to Messrs. Peace as soon as possible.
