Comments on RF's ideas on the gravitational effect of the sun and moon on the earth's atmosphere.
Book he intended to write has had to be postponed as he has been asked to prepare a second edition of his Weather Book. Sends a proof of the revision of the 18th chapter.
Thanks for his opinion; it will save him from exposure, but it is too late to get the book altered. Comments on some parts of JH's book on meteorology. The atmosphere appears to be smaller in extent than John Dalton conceived.
