Esteems it a great honor to receive JH's request. Has searched through all his papers but has a spare copy only of the Third series. Is thinking of reprinting the whole series in one volume.
Saturday's experiments have brought a severe inflammation of the eyes so has been unable to use the aerolite. Returns it, but will try some experiments later if JH sends it back.
As JH has tried many varnishes he wonders if he has ever tried shellac. Has tried it on specimens of brass. Many thanks for his invitation.
His letter was a great encouragement and pleasure. Comments on his own and JH's experiments with light and magnetism. Contemplates a further series of experiments but requests JH not to mention it. Is at Brighton for a rest.
Has received his letter and suggestions for the experiment. Has ordered the glass from Newman. Is very busy so may not be able to carry out the experiment for a week or more. JH must keep the results secret for the time being.
Has procured some glass rod fit for the experiment. Comments on the results. [Robert] Hunt has been working on crystallization and magnets and has told him of JH's interest. Grieves to hear of his illness. His paper in JH's hands will be left for the time being until he has more time.
Has a sufficient quantity of heavy glass at his disposal and offers some to JH.
Will be showing some experiments in the laboratory next Monday to G. B. Airy, François Marcet, and a few others; JH would be welcome.
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.
Finds he made an error last night due to his bad memory. The Duke was asking for JH; hopes he met him after Richard Owen's discourse.
Enclosing the tickets. Hopes the whiskey will be good.
No doubt he is aware of F. A. Nobert's work on glass. Has received from him a paper, which he intends communicating to the R.S.L. Thinks JH may like to see it.
The accompanying book was addressed to MF but inscribed to JH, so he considers it belongs to JH.
Did as JH wished with the papers. Is busy with magnetism and lines of force. Sends a couple of printings.
Has not read up the different treatises on elementary chemistry but gives three authors: George Fowne, Thomas Graham, and W. T. Brande. Has sent [Rudolf?] Wolfe's letter to Edward Sabine.
Sending a letter he has received from [Rudolf?] Wolfe. Will send it to the R.S.L. or the R.A.S after JH has seen it, whichever he thinks best.
Found the paper JH required and has sent off the quarto version. Wishes he had something else to send as well.
