A notice of meeting of the Standards Committee.
Is asking JH to bring the long version of Richard Sheepshanks's paper to the next meeting of the Standards Committee [see JH's 1852-2-11].
Agrees with JH's idea of decimalizing the pound weight, but the stone should not then be used [see JH's 1852-3-5].
