Ask Edward Sabine for authority to insert additional notes [on barometric observations] into report already at printer's. Does not advise publishing observations. Asked Howard Elphinstone to send observations to WB.
Yesterday's letter was mistakenly sent to WB's former address. Sends copy.
JH's theory of barometric waves. Comparison with ocean tides. Non-trade winds follow laws of periodicity and are predictable, accounting for previously unexplained phenomena. Attributes rotating storms to interference of two or more wave trains. Will propose WB as director of new B.A.A.S. project to discover laws of weather behavior. Sends payment for WB's expenses. Never saw anything more beautiful than WB's 'Symmetrical Barometric Curve.'
B.A.A.S. approved WB's employment by Magnetical and Meteorological Committee to explore atmospheric waves. Will send Russian observations tomorrow. Howard Elphinstone agrees to send his observations [at Ore, near Hastings]. Lists meteorology books.
