Thanks for his long letter on the climate and vegetation of the Cape. Congratulations on the success of his mission.
Arrived at Liverpool on the way to Newcastle; some details about the journey.
Informs MH that JH arrived safely at Newcastle for the B.A.A.S. meeting.
Details about the B.A.A.S. meetings, as well as comments about JH's hosts, and comments about the evening meetings.
A paean of praise about the B.A.A.S. meetings, especially some of the unscheduled activity, such as Adam Sedgwick giving a lecture on the seashore to 3000 or more 'colliers and rabble'; reproduces a lengthy poem given by W. R. Hamilton.
Urges JH to attend next Geological Society meeting, meet [Carlo Andrea, Conte de] Pozzo di Borgo, and see RM's new ordnance maps.
