Content and context

JH sends WW his translation of book six of the 'Iliad', and thanks him for his 'just and welcome' notes on his translation of book five. JH has compared his translation to others, and prefers his own since it does not 'gallop so oppresively...which always makes me seasick and puts me in mind of making game'. Marcia, Amelia and William Herschel have returned from their stay at the Whewells. Maragret Herschel is now off the sick list but JH has had terrible bronchitis.
