Thanks RM for his interest in a possible position for JH's son Alexander. It now appears that the position will likely go to someone else, but there is so much work to be done in the meteorological office that another person, such as Alexander, would be ideal. Perhaps RM could put in a word for him.
JH's son Alexander is up for membership in the R.A.S., and JH would appreciate RM speaking in favor if the occasion arises. Introduces JH's son John to RM and his wife. Comments on the possibility of still finding [David] Livingstone alive in Africa.
