Summary:

Has not heard from him for a long time. Thought that the Government was going to turn the R.A.S. out of Somerset House. There is someone to come to the rescue of Richard Sheepshanks. Has not seen Charles Babbage for many years. Their views are incompatible. C. P. Smyth is off to Teneriffe so now is the time for JH to make suggestions. Has set up a committee to make by-laws.
