Thrilled by JH's encouragement concerning WH's 'Theory of Systems of Rays.' Enthusiastic about his career prospects at the University of Dublin.
Sorry that he could not meet JH when JH was in Dublin; hopes to be introduced to JH soon. Answers JH's queries about WH's work; explains that he is studying 'the general properties of systems of rays, and of the surfaces with which they are connected.'
Expresses regrets that George Airy's memoir on spherical aberration in telescope eyepieces and WH's 'Theory of Systems of Rays' reached JH too late for adequate treatment in JH's 'Light.'
Thanks for, praises, and comments on WH's 'Systems of Rays' paper. Says WH will have a distinguished career. Mentions other works and hopes to forward them with others he receives to WH.
