Will be pleased to be godfather of JH's new daughter. Pleased also that JH is reviewing his [Philosophy of the Inductive Sciences]. Presents an argument to support his a prioristic view of the nature of science.
Thanks for JH's review of WW's Philosophy of the Inductive Sciences. Admits that too much of it was written in a 'spirit of needless pugnacity.' Believes that JH's and WW's views are closer than may appear.
Asks JH whether he knows of any projects that the B.A.A.S. should fund. Makes further comments on JH's review of WW's Philosophy of the Inductive Sciences.
[Writing shortly after his marriage (12 Oct. 1841) and acceptance a few days later of the Mastership of Trinity College], WW thanks JH for his expressions of good will. Invites the Herschels to Trinity Lodge.
