Are there any earthworks in the wood near Hawkhurst [see GA's 1851-11-4]?
Responds with a suggestion of a reasonable price for all the weights [see JH's 1851-10-29].
Will send an assistant to bid for the weights at the auction [see JH's 1851-11-8].
GA's assistant bought the weights at the auction for less than JH had offered [see GA's 1851-11-9].
Is sending some papers on standards prepared by Richard Sheepshanks.
A note to clarify receipt of a letter transmitted by Margaret Brodie Herschel.
JH's letter has already gone to Alexander von Humboldt, who has been waiting to hear from him. The fourth volume of Cosmos.
Did as JH wished with the papers. Is busy with magnetism and lines of force. Sends a couple of printings.
