Is obliged for JH's observations on his statement of [Joseph?] Hume's doctrine. These errors are discreditable and will diminish the utility of the book.

Summary:

Read JH's letter in the Times with great pleasure. Would like to see the gold question remain as at present. Has not been successful with the Wellingtonia seed; none has come up. Regrets to hear the change in the weather has brought on JH's bronchitis.
