Summary:
Ferry delayed by 19 July hurricane. Studying classical granite veins in Glen Tilt under [J. D.] Forbes's tutelage. Not disturbed by cost overrun of JH's catalogue of nebulae, but sorry that JH is 'so much vexed.' Simply tell R.S.L. committee that JH needs more money; do not worry about scruples.
