JH's letter grieves him, but he will convey his decision to the Trustees. Has just heard of the death of the Archbishop [of Canterbury, William Howley].
Financial matters are dealt with relating to the purchase of a telescope [for Royal Observatory, Cape of Good Hope].
Sends the pamphlet by W. Snow Harris on lightning conductors. May find some extracts useful for the Admiralty Manual. Also extracts from William Reid and Mr. Liddington's work on hurricanes.
Leopold Gmelin's Handbuch der Chemie contains all JH requires. If he does not have access to it will send it to the R.S.L. for him.
