Comments briefly on the positioning of magnetic observatories. Unsure whether he understands Humphrey Lloyd's proposal.

Has received papers relevant to the Magnetic Committee. Comments on letters by G. B. Airy and Edward Sabine, siding mainly with Airy.
Believes that it is not worth the cost to sustain many permanent magnetic observatories, but a few for a limited time would make sense. Unclear which observatories these should be.
The family is waiting to hear from son John; JH comments on the end of the East India Company's rule in India, and on another newspaper item.
Entirely agrees with his views on M. F. Maury. Is surprised at David Brewster's review of Maury's work. Would JH comment on RF's work on weather forecasting.
Thanks for JH's article on meteorology from the Encyclopaedia Britannica. Has been investigating climatology lately. His own health has not been good. Sends some of his own reprints that may be of interest.
