JH would like to make WW 'God-papa of our last-born little girl'. JH is to review WW's 'book ['Whewell on Inductive Sciences', Quarterly Review 68, 1841]: 'I fear talk as we might, or write as we may we shall never convert each other. We are like two staunch politicians Tory and Radical who agree in love of country and whom a thousand delightful associations keeps from tearing each others eyes out'.
