Thanks RH for the papers of researches on light just received.
Letter writing has been delayed by the crush of other business. Comments on names for various aspects of heat, light, color, and phlogiston. JH describes the actions in his 'amphitype' process. Is looking forward to RH's forthcoming work on photography.
Does not think that RH would be satisfied with the position of Assistant Secretary of the R.S.L., as it is largely clerical, and would not allow much time for chemical or photographical experiments. JH is not aware whether there is a position available at the Royal Institution, but would be willing to speak to Michael Faraday.
