[Reply to GA's [1856-4-6 or earlier] on Mohamet's coffin theory.] Congratulations on GA's son winning a scholarship. JH's health is better, but he cannot walk yet.
A number of options are proposed by JH to help GA solve his problem with the mercury level [see GA's 1856-4-14]; JH is feeling much better but fears he may 'never again be able to walk.'
Has no actinometers available [see GA's 1856-4-23], but tells GA where he can get one; rhapsodizes about the beauty of nature around him, and the silliness of a person.
Some more information on the use of the actinometer [see JH's 1856-4-24 & GA's 1856-6-3]; some news of JH's wife, Margaret.
A note to accompany the forwarding of a communication to GA.
