Regrets to hear of the ill health of JH. Believes that a sea voyage to the Cape would work wonders. The transit circle is in full working order. Comments on some of the work connected with it. Has heard that an accident had occurred to William Parsons' (3rd Earl of Rosse) 6-foot speculum. No news of David Livingstone.
