A long letter on climate and vegetation and his experiences whilst at the Cape.
Thanks for WW's History of the Inductive Sciences and for dedicating it to JH. Has read volume I, being especially impressed by WW's stress on hypothesizing. Recounts difficulties in getting tidal observations for WW. Is sending back a large number of JH's astronomical observations.
