Thanks for his letter concerning L. A. J. Quetelet; trusts he will be able to prepare the article for the Christmas number. Cholera is at Haileybury.
Hopes his paper on L. A. J. Quetelet will be ready for the Easter number. Richard Jones has returned from Switzerland, and dined with Quetelet in Brussels. Has been suffering himself with congestion of the brain and consequently unable to write.
Is much better but has to take care. Francis Jeffrey (Lord Jeffrey) has taken over the editorial duties of the [Edinburgh] Review. Pleased to hear he is working on his paper. Will inquire about the average Englishman. W. H. Sykes and S. D. Poisson have published papers on this subject.
Expects he has received the proofs by now. Is pleased he will review L. A. J. Quetelet's book on probabilities. Returns to Haileybury next month.
