JH, 'completely broken in health,' ceased to be Master of Mint in Apr. 1855. Successor is Professor [Thomas] Graham of University College. Keep Master informed of stock of dies for coins in Sydney. Glad that EW's office as deputy-master is independent of colonial government. Regards to Charles Elouis and J. Triskett.

Summary:

Happy to hear that [new Sydney mint] is going well. JH confined with painful illness since Mar. 1855; still unable to walk or stand upright without support. Aluminium may be used in coins, but JH doubts it will replace iron in pots and pans. War is ended, but people worry about further Russian aggression.
