JH responds to UL's concern about the Isaac Newton-Blaise Pascal forgeries [see UL's 1869-10-4].
Sends [William Whewell's] 'Isle of Sirens' and an acknowledgement to it in 'skimble skamble Hexameters.' Is eager to receive solar photographs and will send others by Professor [George?] Morton.
Comments on the proofs of his book that he has received so far. Has been ill and not feeling like intellectual work, so would he request his printer to send no more sheets for the time being.
