Intends to apply for a professorship at Owens College and would like to use JH's letter as a testimonial. Would also like to send a copy of this letter to the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Was flattered by JH's message and regrets JH was unable to be present at the Prize-giving. Thinks he may like to see the enclosed extract from Engineering on the tides. Thinks good will come from the Royal Commission on Coal.
Agrees to WJ's request to make use of an earlier letter of JH's [see WJ's 1866-3-7].
Many thanks for the Preface to the second edition of WJ's pamphlet, and for the extract on tides. Comments on this and the use of tidal power. Was disappointed at not being able to visit Manchester but suffered a severe fall.
Expresses concern that the present rate of use of natural resources and the increase in population may create serious problems in the future.
