JDH thanks Lady Hyacinth Jardine [later Hooker] for her letters & for sending Primulas etc. He will look into Pinguicula [to send in return?]. JDH identifies a grass as Sesleria Caerulea for Sir William Jardine & requests some for RBG Kew. George Henslow [JDH's brother in law] is still paralysed. JDH asks where he should send a postal order for the Jardine's gardener. JDH relates the circumstances of Lady Lyell's death & his visit to see her lying in her coffin. Her husband Charles Lyell is grieving whilst still working on the new edition of his book THE ANTIQUITY OF MAN, with Miss Buckley. The Lyells hope that Hyacinth's father [William Samuel Symonds] will bury Mrs Lyell at Woking beside Mr Horner. JDH's wife Frances has returned from Down House & is still unwell. JDH recounts the current whereabouts & activities of his children: Harriet Anne Hooker is in Cheltenham with her great aunt, William Henslow Hooker continues with the fiddle, & Charles Paget Hooker has spent his holiday with Barnard at Cheltenham.
