Sending JL's book Physical Geography (1870).
Sends diagrams showing three new couplets of sunspots. The sun is entering a new phase of activity. Sends drawings made with a glass pen by his son Alexander.
Writes about JH's health; justifies writing by sending some curves prepared by JH's son Alexander.
Received JH's note. TW's wife Amelia [Herschel] and baby fared poorly in Panama and California. China better now than in 1853-65. Constitution flimsy but still vital. Describes 'Mahometan insurrection.'
