R. I. Murchison has forwarded JH's letter about the noises at Nakkus in Sinai. Has heard the noises several times and thinks they are caused by the movement of sand. There is much static electricity in sand.
Had no time to write before he sailed [see FH's 1868-10-23, which is similar in content]; forward letters to the Ordnance Office, Southampton.
Sinai expedition did not complete its work. Would like to send out Messrs. E. H. Palmer and C. F. T. Drake again. Can they continue to use JH's name as a trustee?
