sweetly. She is becoming quite a favourite at the 
Association, and especially of the Marchioness of 
Hastings, with whom we spent yesterday evening, 
after F.’s® lecture at the Ratcliffe.’ 
A few weeks after Owen’s return to London 
Joanna Baillie, who was a relation of John 
Hunter’s wife, gave him a relic of Hunter in the 
-shape of a set of buttons which he used to wear. 
These buttons, which were of agate mounted 
in plain silver, were given to Hunter by a lady 
patient, as a token of gratitude for his skill in some 
operation. As they looked very handsome, John 
flunter used to wear them at Court. Mrs. 
Hunter either gave them or left them to Joanna 
and Agnes Baillie on account of their relationship 
to her husband. (They are still in the family.) 
In August, Owen made up his mind to send 
his son to Westminster, and called on the house 
master, a Mr. Rigaud. On September 24, 1847, 
he wrote to his sister : — 
‘ Willie made his ddbnt at Westminster School 
this morning. The Justice and I conveyed him 
yesterday evening to his quarters at Mr. Rigaud’s. 
As the cab drove up to the low Gothic archway 
‘ Norwich’s; future Dean of W’estminster. '•> Faraday’s.
