Chemical constitution of meteorites. JH suspects lead-iron alloy. Believes this has not been proposed before. Send specimen for JH's analysis.
Comments on the intent of remarks appended to a paper of MF's.
Has read his paper on vaporization with much interest and can see no objections to its arguments. Comments on some of the details.
[More detailed version of JH's 1826-5-26]. Has mentioned it to Humphry Davy.
As MF will be unable to attend the next meeting of the Glass Committee, he sends JH the analysis of the glass produced in one experiment, emphasizing its consistency and high quality.
Sending a paper for the R.S.L. Humphry Davy does not approve entirely of his arguments. Would be pleased if JH would glance over it and then inform Davy that he has it.
Was grateful for JH's letter and detailed notes. Hopes he will attach a copy to the paper when he communicates it to the R.S.L.
Has just received his letter. Has had no opportunity of examining the iron. Several years ago he made some experiments on the alloys of lead and cast iron, but does not remember the results. Is surprised that no new metal has been found in meteorites.
