Is sending the packet of Francis Baily's letters today. Sees that Thomas Wright, the Milky Way man, kept a shop in Fleet St. and was a mathematical instrument maker. Warren de La Rue has doubtless sent him his picture of Saturn.
Thanks JC for what she sent. Has been reading Alfred Tennyson's Princess. Praises it.

ARW declines offer of passage “from Trincomalee to Singapore & [then] to Borneo” as taking too much time and expense, and “should prefer waiting for another opportunity.”
