Sorry to hear RH has been ill; JH sends some photographic examples.
Comments on RH's chromatype photographic process and other processes tried by JH.
In response to RH's 1867-10-28, JH sends a list of his writings on astronomy.
Hopes that his paper does not anticipate any of RH's work; will share with the R.S.L. any of RH's results. Laments that he is unable to fix the spectral colors on photographic paper. Asks if RH has studied the bromines.
Expresses his pleasure at RH's new position at the Museum of Economic Geology.
Wishes to discuss an urgent matter.
Asks to borrow a book.
