Scope and content
Letter from Joseph Hooker to Brian Houghton Hodgson in which he writes of his sadness at the news of Lord Auckland's death and of Hooker's regard for Lord Auckland. Lord Ashburton seems to have written the portents to Hooker's father, whose brother, Mr Baring, will probably succeed Auckland in the Admiralty. Hooker has had "infamous weather". Hooker requests that Hodgson not put himself out by travelling to meet him but would be delighted if Hodgson were to come. With accompanying envelope. Handwritten, 4 sides, dated 24 February, 1849.
