Their whole family is grateful for JH's letter of sympathy to JB's father.
Is concerned about the receipt of AH's accounts; lectures AH about the danger of moving into someone else's room [more luxurious] for the vacation; finally asks AH to discover who among the 'university-men' is color-blind, and to what degree.
