Is grateful for JH's letter and offer of assistance. Will come to London earlier than expected so that he can call on him and discuss his problems before foreign travel. Would be glad of an introduction to Mario Gemmellaro and other scientists JH thinks would help him in his studies.
In preparation for foreign travel, asks JH about instruments and method for measuring radiation.
Is proposing to visit the continent after the Oxford meeting to make observations and intends taking some meteorological instruments. Would like JH's advice on some points regarding the large thermometer filled with a blue liquid.
