Has sent to Francis Baily a copy of his Sailing Directions and a roll of charts. Hopes JH will point out any errors he may note.
Delayed acknowledging JH's letter until the return of [James?] Hudson from Derbyshire as he knew he would be interested in the atmosphere and temperature of the ocean. Comments on this and quotes a review of Captain Foster's voyages in the Athenaeum.
Hudson has printed JH's observations on the temperature of the oceans in the Athenaeum. Sends a chart of the east coast of China. Edward Troughton died last Friday.
