Collingwood - Maria Edgeworth has been staying with her sister at JH's: 'I do not recollect her ever so clear, acute, rich, and brilliant as at present at 75!'. They spoke about everybody 'except Dr. R (her brother in law)': JH is pleased at 'Lord R's entire success and quite as enthusiastically in his cause as any Irishman in the world'. He cannot account for some of the ill humour expressed, since JH believed he was good friends with Lord R. The Royal visit to Cambridge must have been both very pleasant and fatiguing for WW.
