Summary:

Sending a paper for CD and one for S. P. Rigaud and William Buckland. Would like Buckland's support for W. H. Mill, a candidate for the Boden professorship at Oxford. Has been speculating on the effect of snow on the heights of mountains. Thinks David Brewster has carried his joke about the decline of chemistry too far.
