Went recently to Tommy Hunt’s festivities before Lloyd Kenyon joined his regiment.
Hopes Caroline and Catherine Darwin will visit in a week.
Woodhouse news, including going to a play.
She has been spending much time painting.
Had an enjoyable week at "Darwin Hotel" during Hunt Week, with two balls, etc., but missed CD.
News of family, friends, horses.
Much disappointed that CD will leave home before she returns.
Qualifications of John Lindley, Huxley, Albany Hancock, Joseph Prestwich, J. C. Ross, and Francis Beaufort for Royal Medal.
Supports nomination of John Lindley for award of Royal Medal of the Royal Society.
JWS is seeking financial help. He is in debt and struggling and wonders if there is any paid service he might perform for CD.
CD’s views [on religion] are far from clear. He cannot make up his mind how far an inward conviction that there must be some Creator or First Cause is really trustworthy evidence. Does not feel he has thought deeply enough to express himself publicly on religion.
