Letter from George Jones, place not identified, to Harriet Moore, circa 1863 : autograph manuscript signed.

Thanking her for her second note; saying he doesn't like travel; saying Faraday is right that “Hampton Court is a leaden circus”; saying that the present is much like the era of Henry the Eighth and Wolsey; saying she is right about the Wolsey Tavern and that he wishes he had been with her as the scenes of nature always calm him; saying Bacon has superseded Aristotle and has taught man to be mortal, whereas Aristotle might lead him to be a god; saying he has sent her his version “of your pretty sketch”; telling her to tell her mother that the funeral of Lord Clyde opened his ears to the joys of music but it cannot last because he is deafer every day.
