Discusses his new microscope.
Is grateful for JH's letter and pamphlet. Worked on portraiture before Mr. Baird and assisted him later. Outlines the various lenses he used and made for other people. Is pleased JH has a good opinion of the work of [W. B.?] Rogers. Is he familiar with the works of [Thomas?] Dicks in astronomy?
