J. J. Lister also made set of experimental glasses similar to JH's [see TxU:H/L-0255]. Lister's experiments on color-blind persons. Will forward Lister's glasses to [John] Dalton. CM plans similar experiments with JH's glasses; will forward results to JH at Cape of Good Hope. Wishes to see JH's grinding and polishing machinery.
