Declines to review WC's recent work, and then JH justifies his position for the rest of the letter.
Sending copies of the reviews of his work, which has been attacked in some quarters. Would like JH's views on two of the chapters.
Would like JH to write a review of his recent book for the Quarterly Review.
Has been working on the structure of mother of pearl and has come to different conclusions than those of JH. Would be pleased if he could send a sample to him to investigate further.
