Sending a paper he has written on his ozone experiments; please communicate it to the R.S.L. if JH thinks it worthy. Would JH request the R.S.L. to re-suspend EL's certificate as he seems certain of some support from Council. Will soon complete his work on ferns.

Is grateful for the trouble JH has taken in annotating the proofs. Will send him a copy of the book when printed. Thanks also for the atomic dialogue.

Grateful for the efforts of JH and his fellow astronomers in England for the continuation of TM's pension. Busy unpacking valuable library of Sir George Grey presented to the Cape. Details of his recent observations of stars. Weather has been bad. Surface of the object glass of transit circle is badly corroded. Sailor son is well again.

Glad to hear of the recovery of JH's daughters. Encloses a copy of a letter of thanks written to H. J. Temple (3rd Viscount Palmerston). Error in the sun's distance is peculiar. Has been elected corresponding member of the French Academy. Family has been attacked by the influenza.

Is pleased that the Government have put Sir Thomas Maclear on the Civil list. Has read JH's paper on atoms with much interest and amusement. Hopes that JH will call at the Observatory when in Oxford. Finds the R. C. Carrington transit circle a valuable instrument. Comments on his observations.

Will come and visit him on Friday afternoon.

Received his letter and comments with pleasure. Asks some questions on photographic experiments.

Further inquiries on photographic processes.

Thanks JH for the efforts made on behalf of his brother, Adalbart Adolf Mühry. [The London Medical Relief Fund was only intended for residents of England, and so could not help.]

Outlining the requirements for the new Assistant Secretary at the Geographical Society. Gave Frank Buckland encouragement last week.

Attended the lectures given by JH's son at the [Royal Institution] and Michael Faraday and Bence Jones think he should not be considered for the post at the Geographical as he is cut for more scientific things. Would like JH's views.

Sends the appendix to the volume being printed and hopes he can quote the extract from JH's letter. Comments on James Croll's theories. Points out a mistake in the report from the Morning Post.

President of the R.S.L. has suggested that RM should propose Sir Henry Barkly as a fellow. Comments on Barkly's work in geography and geology.

Inviting JH to give one of the lectures at Glasgow.

Is pleased that JH is to mention JN's 'willow leaves' on the sun in his new edition of Outlines Astr. Will endeavor to make a more perfect photographic copy of the original drawing. Gives a drawing and description of apparatus he uses for solar observations.

Sends by book post two photographs of the original drawings of the sun's observations, also a photograph of a model of the S.E. portion of the moon; comments on them. Will be pleased to accept JH's invitation to visit Collingwood.

Fine weather is getting rare at this time of year and would therefore like to induce the Herschels to visit him while it lasts.

Regrets that JH's engagements prevent them visiting Penshurst. JN too is unable to manage the dates quoted. Hopes his own Herschelian helioscope will be in action by the time the Herschels visit Penshurst.

Grateful for letters and enclosures. Has been ill himself, but is pleased to hear those at Collingwood are well. Hopes the prospect of Alexander [Herschel]'s appointment will be realized.

Will call on W. Bonsey on his way to Devon and may be able to give a valuation of the house and grounds at Slough.
