Asks for latest chemical information on platina groups, or 'Platinoids.' In trying to remove platina from mineral specimens JH may have found new metal. Describes its characteristics. P.S.: Keep this information private.
Thanks for information [on latest platina research]. Has encountered 'a totally new metallic chemistry.' Searching for papers by Mr. Gros and Mr. Beiset. Describes JH's experiments with 'Platinoids,' which JH named like asteroids: Heberum, Astraeum, and Neptunium.
Encloses JH's letter of 11 Oct., which was not mailed to RK. Discovered traces of titanium in Astraeum. Puzzled by saline compounds that appear in JH's experiments with 'Platinoids.'
Only received JH's letter yesterday as he does not visit Cork very often. Is not surprised at JH's findings on platinum. Gives some of the more important memoirs on platinum. Is pleased that JH is interested in chemical research into platinum.
