Received drafts from WB and Charles Wheatstone for Admiralty Manual. JH must edit and connect them. Promises to preserve WB's intent and to give full credit.
Received [WB's] packet. JH has influenza, will read manuscript after recovery.
Agrees that Kew Observatory should remain open. Will urge B.A.A.S. to continue observations. Admiralty Manual going slowly. WB may use Admiralty's printer for WB's separate article. Did not tell Lord [Auckland, i.e., George Eden] of WB's offer to go to New Zealand.
Admiralty Manual must be succinct. WB's specialized notes [on atmospheric waves] are too extensive.
Returned [WB's] manuscript with Admiralty notes last week. Concerned, because postal service lost C. R. Darwin's manuscript when JH returned it.
