Summary:
Was not aware when he wrote his paper that doubt existed regarding the invariability of [the absolute heat of steam?]. Comments on the variations in the theories of S. D. Poisson and Karl Holtzmann. The experiments JH suggests would be highly interesting. Would he like to see Holtzmann's paper?
