Sends a sonnet on the comet. Regarding works on spheroidal triangles. Supposes he may use the Feldhausen anecdote. Regarding the law of facility.
Thanks WJ for his papers on clouds [see WJ's 1861-7-21]. JH had not seen these, but praises their contents.
Reports JH's observations of a comet [Comet II Tebbutt ?] first seen from England ca. 29 June 1861. Remarks that it 'far exceeded in brightness any comet I have before observed.'
More on lacunae in JH's set of MF's writings [see JH's 1838-10-3].
Found the paper JH required and has sent off the quarto version. Wishes he had something else to send as well.
His son Clement will be working in the neighborhood of Hawkhurst for the Geological Survey and would be pleased if JH would give any local advice as required.
