Would like JH's drawing of the lake [?] measuring operation.
Capt. Beaufort has just put two of JH's letters into his hands. Is conscious of the kindly way in which JH entered into the problem. Would like the chance of a conversation with him on the subject.
As he leads a roving life he did not receive JH's letter until a few days ago. Answers JH's problem concerning some method of measurement in his surveying.
Comments on comparison of boroughs based on assessed value and on taxation.
