Regarding the spots on the sun known as James Nasmyth's 'Willow leaves.'
Is obliged for the perusal of Warren de La Rue's paper. Further comments on James Nasmyth's 'Willow leaves.'
Is sorry he has caused so much trouble with his 'Solar views.' Sends a recent paper he has written on the subject. Is appealing to James Nasmyth. Encloses sketch of an ear-shaped disc.
Is grateful for the photographs. Recent happenings at the Mint. Has had a visit from Henry Bingley, who looks well.
Sends three pamphlets by Lieut. John Maclear. Was very interested in JH's 'Words" for January.
