Thanks for his kind note. Is convinced that John will benefit the House by becoming an M.P.
Thanks for the perusal of the papers; these show a maturity of thought unexpected in a youth of eighteen. Comments on the moral questions included.
John Lubbock shall have JH's vote. Comments on the duties of an M.P. Cannot promise to canvas but will speak to anyone with influence he meets.
Has been kept informed of the illness of Sir John William Lubbock by JH's daughter [Matilda] Rose. Hears things are now more serious and proposes to bring Rose home to Collingwood.
