The publisher [John] Murray wants a new edition of JH's Admiralty Manual. Suggests revisions for WW to make in WW's paper in that volume.
Refers to WW's work on tides and on the mathematics of political economy. Fears that JH's duties [as Master of the Mint] will keep him from science. Has taken a house on Harley St.
