Looks forward to the possibility of a visit from RJ.
A long statement against a very nasty article in the Mechanics Magazine on the priority controversy surrounding the discovery of Neptune.
Family news, questions of son Willy's position, frost in the garden, and JH met Louis Philippe.
Sorry that JH missed RJ at W. H. Fitton's. Offers proposal to modify property taxation procedures to yield 'taxation by payments downward' and to decrease load on poorer classes.
