Comments on EL's paper on zodiacal light; JH disagrees with EL's arguments and suggests rethinking them.
Henry Lawson has nominated EL for the R.S.L. and would be grateful if JH would add his name to the certificate. Has just received an 11' refracting telescope from Lawson. Has doubtless heard of the newly formed British Meteorological Society. S. C. Whitbread is president, and they already have one hundred members. Has had several gifts of books for the Midland Observatory.
Has heard of a projected attack on the Henry Lawson instruments at the Observatory. Would like a line from JH on the value of the instruments. Has written to W. R. Dawes, [John?] Lee, and W. H. Smyth.
Comments on zodiacal light. Would like JH's opinion on his theory. Has been experimenting further with the propagation of plants with collodion. Money for the Henry Lawson Observatory has been subscribed and hopes soon to appoint trustees.
Henry Lawson has presented all his meteorological instruments and his transit instrument to this Observatory. Hopes to study the relation of the atmosphere to the prevalence of disease. Wonders if the Government or some society would be willing to finance assistant in the observatory.
Does not quite understand JH's note; can he clarify the reading he requires? Comments on his readings on thunderstorms.
