Approves delay in JH's report on coinage until JH can determine how unusual present demand will affect Mint operations.
Reports on G. G. Stokes's 'most remarkable and important' paper on refrangibility of light, recommending highly its publication in full. Notes in postscript that JH's experimental results had come close to those of Stokes.
