Commentary on manuscript [Personal Recollections?] that [MS] sent to JH one month ago. Career of scientific learning and domestic happiness will inspire future generations. Suggests publishing it posthumously for greater impact. Corrects passages about Charles Babbage. Gives purpose, history, and membership of each of two Standards committees, one of 1819 and one of 1838. Suggests avoiding topic of bitter controversy over invention of electric telegraph.
Attached comments [not included] convey JH's views on MS's new manuscript [On Molecular and Microscopical Science, 1869]. Expresses reservations about MS's endorsement of current ideas of forces and their correlation and conservation.
