Announces 13 Nov. meeting of Committee of South African Infant Schools.
Regrets missing appointment yesterday. Can JH arrive early tomorrow and meet before Council convenes? Wishes to submit more data on Colonial population. Suggests appointing subcommittee on statistical research.
Hears that JH has arrived safely at the Cape and discovered two new planets already. Will shortly receive Niccolo Cacciatore. The shape of Etna has changed. His own brothers are away at the moment.
