Cannot attend meeting of grant committee tomorrow. Favors grant to print observations made at Armagh Observatory by T. R. Robinson, but with conditions. Protests any grants to public institutions. Mr. Forbes's proposition is too premature to act on it.
Encloses letters pertaining to committee decision, proposed by G. B. Airy and regarding which JH wrote a letter, to grant aid to Armagh Observations.
