He reports that the Cunningham's had stayed with him the previous evening, that he was expecting a lecture from John at Harrow on the neglect of private prayer, that he had gone to Wheeler Street with Samuel Hoare and Louisa the previous day, that the family at Upton whom he had visited that morning were well, including Rachel Fry, that he was going to both the Speaker's and the King's Levee, that he would probably bring a Motion about jails and that he had made a speech the previous Friday in reply to Alderman Wood's statement on Ilchester Jail. He writes that he was working hard [on his prison reform memorandum]. He thanks Harry for his letter and for the good account Christiana gave of him, reminding her about Priscilla's book for Wilberforce.
