Has now had ample time in which to study JH's pamphlet. Comments on various points. Has constructed a 4 1/2" aperture achromatic telescope, but the buyer went bankrupt. Would welcome assistance from JH.
Responds to some erroneous claims made at the Society regarding JH's views in meteorology, e.g., JH asserts his support for the Hadleian theory of winds.
