Informs JH that JI had been warned off, by Stephen Lee, from writing about the figure of the earth because that was JH's territory.

Would like to know the position regarding the Royal medal, which he understands he has been awarded.
Packet sent to Scotland has now been delivered. Would like JH's advice on how to express thanks in the proper quarter. Thinks science would benefit by the presence of G. B. Airy or W. R. Hamilton at Greenwich.
Congratulations on his return. Sends some papers on the equilibrium of fluids on which he would like JH's opinion.
Would be obliged for the return of the papers when he has perused them.
Has examined the papers JH left with him and has no objections to the calculations; comments on these. Will forward an additional remark to Francis Baily.
Assures JI that JH could not, and would not, utter such threats, and has sent Stephen Lee a copy of this letter [see JI's 1828-7-10].
In reply to JI's 1828-11 states that the delay over sending the medal has arisen because there is no die in existence so that no medal has been struck.
