Is going to Edinburgh to apply for the post left vacant by John Playfair's death. Would JH and his father give him certificates and references? [Note by Mrs. CB to the effect that her husband has heard that James Ivory will not be contesting the professorship at Edinburgh].
Is anxious to receive his article on hyposulfurous acid as the volume is almost ready for the printer.
Received JH's profile. Glad William Herschel's portrait is taken. WW has one from forty years ago. Lady Watson not well. Requests information about 'the comet.' Happy for account of Beckwiths.
Learned that JH has been ill since returning from Slough. Please visit soon.
