Is meditating on a paper on the infinity of magnitude. Does he recollect a paper by J. J. Sylvester on the passage of a bullet in a gun barrel?
Hopes AD will be successful in his projected paper on the infinity of magnitude. Does not recollect the paper by J. J. Sylvester. Has had a letter from Manchester on his own theory of eternal existence.
Suspects that J. J. Sylvester and JH agree in their theories. Is inclined to agree with them as his third paper on logic shows. Has read JH's book and will return it soon. Has 30,000 life policies to calculate.
Of five institutions in India named by JH, three no longer exist. Suggests alternate recipients for Cape Results. TM will forward copies to India.
