Information about some candidates for Sydney University professorships [see JH's 1851-10-29].
Partly identical to JH's 1851-11-16, but with different information about some candidates.
A note about the receipt of papers from Richard Sheepshanks.
Invites GA to stay at Collingwood and explore the area for evidence of Roman occupation [see GA's 1851-11-4], and talks about a friend of JH's family. Indicates a price offered for weights, but has had no response [see GA's 1851-11-3].
Is not very knowledgeable about local terrain that might help GA; adds comments about weight buying, and offers a solution [see GA's 1851-11-5].
