Could he let him have the address of his son James as his mother died this morning.
Knows nothing of the enmity of Humphry Davy towards [John] Herapath. The purpose of JH's last letter was to point out that Herapath was in error in his solution of certain equations. Must consider correspondence closed.
Informs CH of his gold medal from the French Academy of Sciences for JH's and James South's paper on double stars. Finds CH's catalogue of nebulae in zones very useful. Heard about Johann Pfaff's death. James Grahame may be moving to Göttingen.
Comments on JH's mother's health, some communication from Greenwich, and the weather.
