Problems with expensive postage for [W. S.] Stratford's notices could have been avoided if these had been sent to R.S.L. for mailing. Explains R.S.L. system for foreign mailings.

Problems at Paramatta Observatory.
JH expects that CH has received the copy of his Cape Results that he sent recently.
Would like information on the system of education used at the Cape, for his forthcoming book.
Has just received his note. Would like to print [JH's review of] Kosmos at Christmas, so let him know if there is a chance of it being ready. Mrs. [Richard] Jones has not been feeling well. Richard Jones is visiting Alexander Baring (1st Baron Ashburton).
