Convoluted explanation of why he has not written.

Henry - glad to hear of PE's return to England. Domestic (servant with uterine cancer) and work problems for both him and his brother (who also appears to have strained something around his groin - 'somewhere, as sailors say, between wind and water') prevent a trip to Dover. Invites PE to stay in 10 days time. PE seems to have asked for help in obtaining a sextant. G.C. - can only ride gently because of his injury (which is not too bad - no danger of needing to carry his aidoia - Greek = genitalia - in a wheelbarrow).

Two letters are at Stafford Row from PE to his brother, who has gone to Godalming (to examine Norman remains). Since one letter follows the other by a day, he wonders if he should forward them. His mother is still at Ealing, and has been for five weeks.

Long letter of introduction of a young man, Parlby, who has recently entered the University - his parents are worried about his settling.

A bill sent from the Admiralty to the Treasury has been delayed, but Henry expects it back shortly. He says this in case PE thinks he has already received the amount of the bill and is squandering it. (All a joke?)

Acknowledges receipt of a specimen of Ionic love.

Asks PE to inspect a house he is thinking of buying in Bedford Place, London.

Marriage to Julia Elton. PE an executor of HH's will.

Thanks PE for inserting notice of marriage in papers. Is the house ready?
