Has sent on the draft report on magnetic observations to W. S. Stratford for completion [see JH's 1844-10-13].
Edinburgh [Review] named someone else as the person who found the true correction of the rate of pendulums on account of the atmospheric medium. ES actually discovered the correction first. Discusses [James] Ross's intensity ovals.
Responds in detail to JH's request [1844-10-12] for RS's assessment of Francis Baily's character and contributions.
Went to the York meeting of the B.A.A.S. hoping to see JH, but was disappointed to hear he was not there. Would assure him of his friendship and esteem for his work.
