Henry believes that he seems quite well, and that if he could be persuaded to undertake some regular work, 'and abstain from excitement, he would be as well as many hardworking men are during great parts of their lives'. Reports that Mrs F. Ward [wife of his aunt Mary Jane's brother Francis Ridout Ward?] and her daughter are there [at his uncle Robert's house, The Raikes]. Announces that he is going to Adel on Wednesday, and is now setting off to call on his [Sidgwick?] uncles. Remarks that Mr Bal[me? ] seemed really pleased to talk to William, and states that the island folk also were very friendly and hospitable. Announces that he shall come back on Saturday.
