Was grateful for JH's hospitality. Mrs. Gordon is on the way to Stocks. Would like to pair off with someone in order to save the journey to Cambridge for J. W. Lubbock's election. Encloses a letter he has had printed.

Pleased to find JH and family are well. Will shortly be visiting the Wye valley. Wishes JH could be induced to come and live in the Bristol area as it is so beautiful and yet convenient to London.

Is grateful for JH's congratulations on his marriage. Revolution is in the air. Gives account of his marriage at St. Albans Abbey.

Sorry to hear that JH is contemplating a long voyage and stay from England. Hoped JH would have succeeded Professor John Leslie. Would like to know his views on reform. Has been making heavy going with JH's book on Light. Hopes to bring Mrs. Gordon to see Lady Herschel soon.

Regarding J. W. Lubbock's Committee and JH's letter. Will probably meet at the Cambridge election. Unable to vote for Lubbock.

Congratulations on the birth of a son. J. W. Lubbock had no chance at Cambridge. Is pleased he did not have to make the journey. Mr. Lacy, a curate at Tring, would like an introduction to JH as he has several interesting communications to make.
