Must see him on an important matter.
Is at present in town. Sorry he was out when JH called. What shall he do with JH's barometer? Thanks for the telescopic tests.
Has received a note from J. C. Spencer (Lord Althorp) stating that a grant of £500 is available for them [R.A.S.?]. He has acknowledged it.
Thanks for the gift of pheasants. Would he receive JH's medal from the R.S.L. for him and keep it until he can collect it. Will call on him next week.
Thanks for the pheasants. Has a communication for the R.A.S.
Waiting for the ship to be repaired. Has sent him his paper on satellites. Would like 100 offprints. Just about to go on board ship.
