Would like JH's advice on the setting up of a professorship in memory of John Dalton.
J. H. Lefroy returned from McKenzie River [Canada] having established at least 350 magnetic stations between there and Red River, 'a fine pendant for [J. C.] Ross's survey' in southern hemisphere.' If expedition continues through winter, it will provide excellent survey of North American disturbances.
Sending proof copies of the report on the Toronto meteorological observations. Asks JH to make suggestions for corrections and improvements.
Many thanks for the autographs, which she will pass on to her niece.
