Asks that in JD's lectures at King's College, London, he remove an unfair and incorrect reference to JH.
Thanks JD for his letter [see JD's 1831-11-26].
Rejoices that JH plans to persuade H.E.I.C. to publish results of magnetic and meteorological observations. No one at R.S.L. has been in charge of these observations since Humphrey Lloyd gave it up. Submits JD's list of stations and observations. Encloses specimens of JD's pure 'anchovia' and 'Sabrina.'
Regrets exceedingly that JH should think he was referring to him in his lecture. Regrets his work on Sound has been dragged into the controversy.
