Three cards, the first dated 8 [Feb.?] 1893 in which she expresses interest in seeing him and Miss Busk again, is preparing for a hunt in Gaul; the second dated 26 Jan. 1894 in which she announces she has had a "horrible" dental operation under Dr Corbett, and the third dated 2 Feb. 1894 invites him to hers in the following week.

20 Somerset Terrace, Duke’s Road, W.C.—Has cancelled tomorrow’s engagement, and will be free to see him. Is glad she has been accepted by the Lawrence family.
Holme. - Further to the conversation about 'nocturnal tête-à-têtes between ladies & gentlemen', Marcia [Constable-Maxwell] states that her husband's only conversation with Miss Fullerton was at dinner; he learned from a letter he read that night of her wish to become a Roman Catholic, and therefore the following morning Marcia invited her to Everingham; they are not ashamed of their proselytising, which Catholics see as an admirable proof of faith.
Thanks him for The Professor's Wife, received that morning, and asks who was kind enough to have it sent to her, as she does not know who the translator was, and asks if it was Mr Conington.

St Mildred's Court - JWL was going to send WW 'the Liverpool results of Parallax when I found that Mr Dessiou had already done so'. Dessiou also promises to send JWL the declination. They will at once be available to yourself, Poisson and others. The Dutch tides might be discussed if the BAAS would supply funds. JWL considers a year's observations ample for the sun's menstrual inequality. Can WW get the curves of the object glasses belonging to the large telescope at the observatory.
Salford, Manchester - Encloses his paper for a final reading before it is printed. The paper is a combination of the one he read at the BAAS meeting at Cambridge [see EH to WW, 28 Feb. 1835] and later at Dublin on the subject of vertical impacts. If Whewell has no comments to make he would be grateful if he sent the proof sheet to Mr Taylor at Red Lion Court off Fleet Street. Hodgkinson meets 'with great opposition from Dr Dalton [John Dalton] in these matters because I do not use Bernoulli's definition of force (considered as the square of the velocity) and reject the Newtonian as erroneous'. For Dalton to consider force as simply the velocity has introduced numerous errors. What does Whewell think?
Broome Pk., Betchworth, Surrey - Thanks WW for his letter and by anticipation his promised volume.
