Can CB come down on Sunday to see about the machine?
Hears he is at Dudmaston. Has a brother-in-law who will shortly be travelling to India and would like suggestions of books and instruments for him to take. Also letter of introduction to Edward Ryan.
Will be in town on Thursday to execute the deed of attorney. Is glad to hear that Arthur Wellesley (1st Duke of Wellington) has taken an interest in the machine. Remarks on his pamphlet State of Science in England. Alterations at Slough.
