Regrets JH's retirement as secretary to R.S.L. Names possible successors.
Thanks for his letter. Can JH or Charles Babbage suggest someone to experiment with glass? Michael Faraday? Regarding the £100 voted for John Newman or his assistant. Has to attend a local meeting on Wednesday.
Sending an appointment [probably V-P of R.S.L.], which will please every member of the R.S.L. Unable to be in London on the 10th, when Henry Kater will be at the breakfast at the Club. Hopes to attend on the 17th.
