Will travel to Kew Tuesday. Encloses answer to Duke of Newcastle regarding proposal for colonies. Welcomes any comments from JH.
Encloses letter from Colonial Office to R.S.L., which was referred to ES because [B. C.] Brodie was out of town. Brodie hopes to see JH when JH comes to London.
Discusses [Angelo] Secchi's letter. Can supply the Jesuits in Cuba with magnetic apparatus they need. Discusses Secchi's views on cause of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
Must postpone meeting at Kew Observatory because of a severe cold. Asks JH to choose a later date.
