Requests permission to include JH on list of '[Five?]' presidents of hospital.
Agrees with GA [see GA's 1847-6-11] about paying up accounts.
Encourages barometer observations in Mediterranean and Atlantic. Admiralty should support B.A.A.S. request for shipboard observations. Will probably not see WB in Oxford.
[Responding to WH's 1847-6-16], JH doubts that JH's endorsement of [William H.] Harvey's candidacy for professorship of botany would have much credibility. Does hold Harvey in high esteem.
Asks for details of several actinometers.
