"Frank has sent the cards here."
Has not yet heard from Cambridge. Thinks perhaps they do not intend to give him the degree.
Has not yet received letter [about Cambridge honorary LL.D.].
Sends a query he would like GHD to put to Clerk Maxwell: why does a sponged leaf dry more rapidly, although sponging cannot remove the waxy bloom from the minute pores through which it is secreted?
Is very glad to hear about tides in the earth.
Has given dates [for the Cambridge University honorary degree] to the Vice-Chancellor.
Asks GHD to determine whether there are worm-castings in cloisters of [Neville?] Court.
Enjoyed his visit to Cambridge. Asks for newspaper account of the LL.D.
Thinks he had better not sign GHD’s paper [as a candidate for F.R.S.], since he obviously is no judge of the quality of his work.
Asks if Thomson did not overlook heat generated by the crushing and folding of strata during the refrigeration of the globe.
