Comments on social matters, and on what JH has been observing.
Sending some barometric comparisons. Had a narrow escape from Table Mountain fog. Has been quail shooting. P.S. If JH would like to see some quail shooting, join him this or tomorrow evening.
Thanks for the perusal of J. A. Lloyd's paper. Has written to him on the subject of the pendulum. Had only one letter from the Elizabeth. No satisfactory news of [Andrew?] Smith's expedition. Unable to make any circumpolar observations due to the deviation of the transit instrument.
