Requests donation to hospital.
Discusses plans for a hot-air balloon.
Receives report from Crystal Palace concerning balloon test.
Is glad his article on central forces pleased him. Sends one of his latest solutions. Would like a few lines by way of a testimonial. Has been unfortunate when applying for positions as he has lacked support.
Is grateful that he has been allowed to dedicate his book to JH. Will incorporate the suggestions.
Not surprised that actual costs [of publishing JH's catalogue of nebulae] departed from estimates. Reports vote by [R.S.L.] committee. Does not believe publication will be expensive.
Brings coincidence to JH's attention. Believes WL's essay was 'worthy of a better fate.'
Notes on trapping air at different elevations [during balloon ascent]. G. B. Airy and JH will be absent. W. H. Sykes will arrive this evening. Will make another ascent Monday.
