Summary
Discussing Ward's dealings with Hood (probably Thomas Hood), noting that if his negotiations should not succeed, Collins has "only [three] words to say -- Try no more -- or (if [Ward] should like the form better) -- Hood be damned." Suggesting a "cheap and healthy holiday plan" for Ward to combat his "depression of spirits." Noting the entrance of the Victoria and Albert into Boulgoune, and the attendant public concert and fireworks.
