JDH writes to Sir William Turner Thiselton-Dyer about arrangements for the Marianne Northe Gallery. He dismisses [Algernon Freemna-]Mitford's concerns about rights to the pictures & appreciates Marianne North giving up her idea of serving tea at the gallery. He also mentions the matters of a reward for [Daniel?] Morris, & Mead's post. He discusses the amount of money awarded by the board to repair damages to the [glass of the?] frames, Palm House & Temperate House. He mentions the design of another Hot House. He refers to dealing with the Colonial Office regarding Trimen & Syme & to a memo to Mitford about Cooke. JDH adds that he has had to finish the letter in haste as the post is being taken early.
