Spottiswoode is pressing for an answer to invitation to GHD to lecture at the Royal Institution. GHD is having MS of the paper he has written sent to CD, so that CD can advise whether he should accept the invitation.
GHD has been using E. Norman [CD’s copyist], and he apologises if this has caused delays to CD’s work.
Mainly family news.
Eager to read GHD’s political economy MS "though Heaven knows whether I shall understand it".
Sends Murray’s report of November sales of CD’s books. "I am well content."
CD thinks better of "cousin paper" than GHD does.
With respect to GHD’s "viscous work", remembers endless discussions of movement of viscous matter 20 years back, apropos of movement of glaciers.
