Sending papers on actinochemistry (photography). Discusses [James] Forbes's viscosity theory, nebulae of Southern Hemisphere, great refractor at Collegio Romano, and Lord Rosse's telescopes.
Reacts strongly to substantial errors in unauthorized biography of JH. Suggests it be burned. [JH annotation: 'Not sent. Answered none of their letters and refused to take in 2 or 3. A regular piece of French insolence.']
