Summary:

Concurs with JH in his desire to stay out of R.S.L. affairs but feels it is important to promote terrestrial magnetism in the R.S.L., especially because many foreign countries with observatories like to deal officially with the R.S.L. instead of private individuals. Asks if JH wishes to continue receiving information about magnetism after JH moves to Collingwood.
