Asks for CW's contribution to the Admiralty's scientific manual.
Regrets he cannot attend the meeting to lay the stone of the new lecture room, nor can he take an active part in the lectures due to an attack of influenza. Would like his name added to the ordinary members [of the Slough Mechanics Institute].
Family has been ill. Discusses possibilities for the formation of the sun and their effects on the law of area and the nebular hypothesis.
Says the family will arrive at Norwich on 16 or 17 May.
Wonderingly admires WH's quaternions. Lady Herschel has not yet thanked Eliza Hamilton (WH's sister) for the poetry because of serious illness. Except for influenza, would wish WH's son to visit for Easter. Mentions 'political extravaganzas.'
Willing to let GA choose the best objective lens [see GA's 1848-4-5]; then JH offers another possibility; all are ill at Collingwood.
Organizational matters related to R.A.S.; intrigued by AD's partial differential.
About authorship of an encyclopedia article, meeting arrangements, and the mathematical cleverness of his son William.
Received [WB's] packet. JH has influenza, will read manuscript after recovery.
Returned [WB's] manuscript with Admiralty notes last week. Concerned, because postal service lost C. R. Darwin's manuscript when JH returned it.
