Response to some papers sent to R.A.S.
Would like JH's support for sending a memorial to the Lords of the Treasury for a Civil List pension for herself.
Thinks it possible that a letter he wrote to Charles Pritchard may have been passed to JH. Thinks there is some substance in James Nasmyth's claim on seeing 'Willow leaves' on the surface of the sun.
Has learned JH has been named to the B.A.A.S. 'Committee of Weights and Measures.' Requests addresses for various members of the committee so that JH can send each a copy of a paper JH published.
