'Not Sent.' Clarifies values quoted in JH's letter of 5 Nov. to RS.
Is still trying to bring the various definitions of the pound into agreement [see GA's 1867-11-30]; the question of weighing in air or vacuum remains as a problem.
Is pleased to hear his own sons are progressing well. Hopes Caroline (JH's daughter) will soon be able to come out. Is temporarily in charge of the Bombay army, which gives him plenty of work.
