Has placed Mr. Yorke's room at JH's disposal; gives times of meals.
Sending a volume of poetry by D. P. Starkey and would like JH's views on its merits. Is recovering slowly from an illness.
People do not consider JH vain. If JH wants to give his [portrait of JH; see JH's 1847-7-1] to people, this would not be considered vanity on his part. Gives impressions of U. J. J. Leverrier after meeting him at the Royal Observatory.
