We went to the play afterwards, with Arty and Puss, and a large party of "Distinguished Patronage" and amused ourselves very well, Arty shrieked with laughter, Puss behaved like a lady, but next morning came out with the "refrain" of a negro song, not exactly what one would wish ones daughter to perform, and Arty and she danced the ballet! 
Arty and Harry made a variety of matter-of-fact remarks upon the appearance of the dancing girls in a loud voice, which amused the sitters by  -

Amy Crofton is a hast, the Stewerts nice children rather. It was funny to see little Bertie (6ft 2ins, 1879!!!) No other boy of mine has shown any fancy for girls, but he first threw his arms round her, entreating her to stay longer, and as she pushed him away with scorn, after the manner of little girls of that age, he crept behind her and kissed the tips of her very ugly red hair. I suppose he thought it lovely.

Army and Navy Gazette

Dauntless, 31, coast guard screw frigate, Southampton Water. Captain Leopold G. Heath, C.B., has been superseded in the command of the Dauntless and the Newhaven Coast Guard District, by Captain James Willcox, C.B. Captain Heath has handed over to his successor a happy and well-disciplined ship's company, the result of line of conduct marked by moderation and firmness.

Captain Heath during his term of commission had the heavy task of organising a large body of newly raised men on an extended line of coast, and the state in which he now leaves the district proves what can be done by a zealous and efficient officer. Captain Heath takes into his temporary retirement the good wishes of every officer and man who has had the happiness to serve under him. We can congratulate the Dauntless on their having so popular and excellent officer as Captain Willcox to succeed their late chief.

Mary Heath's letter book

1861 - Plymouth
The children enjoy these expeditions but it is rather at the expense of my nerves, for Arty partakes of the nature of a monkey in many ways, and especially in the art of climbing about the masts and rigging, on the boom, and anywhere, where it is most hazardous. His cousins (Crofton) don't follow him, not being so lithe and accustomed to these pranks. What dear little boys they are, so good and well behaved and yet such little men! 

Leo, I, Puss and Arty went on board to Church, it was Pussey's first trial, and she liked it very much; girls have certainly more instinctive piety than boys, perhaps from being born to depend on someone, not that Arty is not very good and quiet, but still it is more because he chooses to be so, then from fear or awe. 
Fred will be very good, I think.

Bert is a pickle decidedly (The most quiet and meakest of young men at 20, 1879 - M.E.H.) he is getting to be such a fine boy, he makes me jealous for Fred.

Army and Navy Gazette

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? What is Mr Henley about? If a Parliamentary Committee will go into irrelevant matter, who is to call them to order? - - - 

- - - - The question originally raised was not as to savings-banks, or whether sailors "earned their money like horses, and spent it like asses," according to Johnson's witty definition, as quoted by Captain Heath; but whether the seamen in the Navy were cruelly kept out of wages they had justly earned, and which their wives required on shore to provide for necessaries, and keep them from running up bills with tradesmen.  - - - 
We have, however, a few words to say to Captain Heath, who rather patronisingly professed to back both the "veritable" "Civilian" and "a Captain of the Navy." In the important questions raised we can only say, notwithstanding Captain Heath's assurance, that the "Civilian" and "Captain" were quite at issue and not "both right." An amicus curiae is a useful person; but he ought not to be a party to the suit, or else he can only be regarded as a somewhat curious "friend" thus to interpose. But to come to Captain Heath's specialty - Ships' Savings-Banks.  - - -- In the meantime we would remind Captain Heath of the German proverb, "Steckenpferde sind theurer als arabiscke Heugste." This comes to mind, seeing the gallant officer boldly promises a reduction in the number of clerks at Somerset House, if only his practical theory, and committees en permanence - with a chaplains - were allowed to be worked in the Royal Navy.

Through the kindness and liberality of Mrs. Marsh Caldwell, the children of these schools, to the number of 350, have been indulged with their holiday in the beautiful grounds around Linley Wood, where they were regaled with an excellent tea, provided by their kind patroness. On Sunday both the sermons in aid of the schools preached in Talk Parish Church—in the afternoon by the Rev. E. H. Loring, vicar of Cobham, Surrey, and in the evening by the Rev. C. P.

Army and Navy Gazette

The amount of extra tonnage required by Government for the dispatch of troops to Canada has necessitated the formation of a Transport Board, and we hear that in addition to the names of Captains Mends and Leopold Heath, that of another officer has been mentioned in regard to the naval element of the new department, but up to last evening nothing definitive was arranged at the Admiralty in reference to this appointment or that of the Secretary. A military officer of experience will of course be member of the Board.

RAILWAY TO THE EDITOR OF THE SURREY STANDARD. 
Sir,—
l beg to call the attention of those landowners who are now being canvassed for their assent to the proposed new railway between Horsham, Dorking and Leatherhead to the necessity of urging upon the promoters that their Dorking station should be contiguous to the existing one at Box Hill, so that travellers changing lines may spared the expense and inconvenience of a long transit between the two stations. 
Those who have changed lines at Farnborough wil sympathise with me. 
Your obedient servant, Moorhurst,

Saturday 21 December 1861
Aberdeen Herald.

With regards to the prospects of the war, I have nothing very new to tell you. The Admiralty, I hear, are busy with the formation of a Board, which looks very much as if hostilities were expected, or, any rate, if it were necessary to on our guard. I recollect telling you, some two or  three months ago, that I believed that one of the first reforms in our naval administration would be the separation of the direction the Transport Service from the department of the Controller of Victualing, to which it now belongs; and seems that it has now been determined to make the division at once, as we could not enter upon a war with the present arrangements without a strong of chance of breaking down. 

Who the director of this most important Board will be I do not yet know. Captain Leopold Heath has been mentioned as one, and all I can say is, that I hope, for the sake of the public, he may get he get the appointment. A better man could not possibly be found. 

A good deal of anxiety was expressed about the Melbourne transport, which is now on her way, freighted with arms, to Canada—a most precious cargo—for there are very few if any, of the new rifles supplied to Canada yet. It is true, she is convoyed by the Orpheus, but a bold privateer might easily make a dash at her when separated from the frigate by stress of weather or fogs. It is satisfactory, however, to know that she is provided with a few Armstrong guns with which she could give a very good account of an enemy until her mate came up.

Express (London)

The Transport Board. - In our last we reported that a new board was about to be formed to manage the transport business. The controller of victualling, Mr Richards, who has now charge of this important duty in addition to his other onerous duties, has hitherto been indefatigable in providing transport for the troops going to Canada; but in the event of war he would be too severely taxed, and to meet the emergency a separate board would be absolutely necessary, as in the Russian war. It would be impossible to find an officer better qualified for the post of controller than Captain Mends C.B., whom we named; but we had heard Captain Leopold Heath C.B., also mentioned. 
The salaries fixed for the new board are 1,200l. for the chairman or controller, 1,000l. for the military office, or colonel, and 850l. for the secretary. - United Service Gazette.
