Wishes all success to his proposed visit to Malta. Has been able to find the volumes of R.A.S.M.N. Comments on WL's system of levers for his telescope.
Sends £100 check for JS.
Has heard WS is publishing an English translation of François Arago's astronomical writings. Urges against including Arago's lectures if the Italian translation is indicative of their level of accuracy. Lists numerous errors in that edition. [Marked 'not sent.' Note added to CDraft (RS:HS 25.13.13) states: 'A letter differently worded but noting some of these points, but not all (for particular reasons) if I remember right was sent.'
Pleased that WS included François Arago's lectures in his compilation. Believes the Italian edition could have been better edited. Remarks on the Leviathan problem.
A proposition in perspective, and some nonsense.
Sends reports about sons Alexander and John at [Charles] Pritchard's school; there follow a number of minor matters of household information; JH will be very busy in the coming week.
