Thanks WS for W. H. Wollaston's crystal models and other gifts. Comments on the 'strange and exciting events' that are in progress in political affairs.
Sending a large specimen of rock salt. Wants JH to make a lens for Mrs. Somerville, if possible. Discusses the political transitions that are occurring.
Will use rock salt to study heat spots. Discusses views of [Macedonio] Melloni regarding solar heat. If England can avoid the mistakes of her neighbors, she will enjoy a great triumph.
Informs JH that before JH's [Cape] expedition, WS recommended it to [H. R. V. Fox,] Lord Holland, who recommended it to James Graham, then First Lord of the Admiralty. Sends JH a letter from Lord Holland to WS praising JH's efforts.
Condolences regarding sad event [death of Caroline Herschel]. Somervilles enjoyed their visit to Collingwood. Has sent a box of gifts.
