Congratulations on JDH’s engagement.
Sorry JDH is so determined on an expedition.
Glad BS intends to visit England. Fears there will be few geologists in London in August. Would be truly glad to see BS at Down, but cannot offer much geological information respecting England.
Regrets not seeing HD at Oxford meeting [of BAAS].
He may keep duplicates of parasitic insects from CD’s collection. Lyell has collected Pediculi for HD from Negroes in North America.
Cannot come to Hitcham as he is anticipating a visit from Bernhard Studer of Bern.
Thanks for the measurements of the intermediate Eildon terraces.
Will lay WK’s paper on the economising of fuel in gas works before the Royal Scottish Society of Arts when it meets the following winter.

Has placed Mr. Yorke's room at JH's disposal; gives times of meals.
Threatened at Cambridge with [C. E.?] Law and Mr. Fielding. Wishes JH would write a letter of support for [J. G. Shaw-?] Lefevre. Is short of helpers but not overworked. William Empson is anxious for a review of Kosmos. Goes on Thursday to vote for [Henry?] Goul[d]burn and Lefevre.
Responds to CS's [see CS's 1847-7-14] request for observations of Gamma Scorpii as a double star. JH comments on CS having omitted J. C. Adams from the list of Neptune discoverers.
Again writes [see JH's 1847-6-9] about the heating system at the British Museum.
