Slough - JH has received 'a note from Lord Melbourne saying that he shall be happy to receive our Committee' but does not say when he will return to London. JH has heard that he has been named in the Courier as the probable successor to H.R.H. the Duke of Sussex to the Chair of the Royal Society - WW must put 'an absolute negative to any such report'.
