Is grateful to JH for sending him a copy of the Essay on Meteorology. Takes an interest in the subject himself and gives his views on cyclones and rotary storms.
Will JH add his signature to the slip to add to the memorial to prevent the Natural History collections being removed from the British Museum.
Will leave London for several weeks when ES's wife is well. Alexander von Humboldt is pleased with English translation of Cosmos. Preparations for magnetic research in Australia, Bavaria, [British] Guiana, and Mauritius. [JH annotation: Routing list to G. B. Airy, George Peacock, and William Whewell.]
Prospects for making magnetic and meteorological observations at Peking, which is more desirable than Shanghai or Hong Kong. Hopes for popular review of subject in Quarterly [Review].
Intends to set up a meeting with appropriate members of the B.A.A.S., in order to prepare presentation about magnetic observatories for the B.A.A.S. meetings in Leeds.
Encloses copy of Treasury Board's ruling that disbands the 'Compassionate Fund for the Mint Workmen,' established in 1851 by JH. Return all funds to Exchequer, and discontinue regular payments to widows and children.
Summarizes for JH the more extensive report appended, which recommends to the R.S.L. and the B.A.A.S. the establishment of magnetic observatories in several Colonial locations.
If magnetic observation stations are to be set up and staffed, then personnel should be considered soon.
