Thanks JH for William Herschel's gift. Wishes Horne Tooke had lived to publish third volume. E. D. Clarke's experiment with oxygen-hydrogen fuel mix to blowpipe was anticipated by Americans. Cites 1803 journal from New York.
Thanks JH for cheeses and etymology letter. 'Substantive quality' of names. Agrees with [Thomas] Hobbes, questions sensible perceptions. Invites WH for visit as respite from bad health.
Delighted that JH proposes to use William Herschel's 20-foot telescope.
Received JH's profile. Glad William Herschel's portrait is taken. WW has one from forty years ago. Lady Watson not well. Requests information about 'the comet.' Happy for account of Beckwiths.
