At Turners Hill near East Grinstead is a pond, which feeds the Rivers Medway and Ouse.
Would be pleased to show JH the pond, but thinks it should be carefully examined before any reference is made to it.
Was grateful for his kind note and check. Family is still in difficulties. Employed by a Liverpool firm to sell engineering articles.

Thanks for his kind note and his tracts on Atoms and Forces. Thinks J. S. Mill's Logic is dangerous. Hopes he will read his book thoroughly and not be too critical of his astronomy.
Sending another copy of a new edition of one of his books. Thinks he stated too strongly his objections to other people's work in his previous edition. Hopes JH will find time to read it.
Thanks for his letter and amusing pamphlet on atoms. Comments on their use of certain terms. Does not think their views differ radically. Thinks heat is a form of movement.
Is very pleased that JH has accepted his little volume. Is sure JH would have made a success of a similar work. Behavior of animals.
Regrets he should have felt so much anxiety about Maria (HH's wife and JH's daughter), but she is progressing well. Have settled down well in their new house.

Is writing an article on the life and work of George Boole and would like JH's advice on one of D. F. Gregory's references.

Thanks for the parliamentary papers, which the Committee have found very useful. Will soon forward his report, which recommends the metric system.
