Obliged to JH for his note. Will be at the Mint next Thursday [2 Feb.].
Thanks JH for letter. Would like to call on JH Sunday morning.
Wants to determine JH's whereabouts for mailing eclipse observation suggestions [see GA's 1850-12-16].
About the possible use of decimal subdivisions of the pound weight on the docks and at the Customs House.
Likes JH's ideas about decimal coinage [see JH's [1851]-1-4]; will send suggestions for eclipse observations.
Further comments on JH's coinage ideas [see JH's [1851]-1-4].
Comments on JH's work on the spectrum and photography.
Concerning his recent visit to Starfield and the observations made by William Lassell with his 20 foot. Regarding the rings of Saturn. Has not heard of the Craig telescope.
Believes the quality of the astronomical work of T. G. Taylor was certainly high [see JH's 1851-1-11].
Has made some efforts at suggesting places of employment to T. G. Taylor's son [see JH's 1851-1-11].
First time he has used a pen since his illness. Approves of leaving the Education question in abeyance. Thanks for the Mint return.
