Regarding the opposition to the proposed introduction of the French Metrical system.H
Daughter has returned from Switzerland.
Is very upset that JH's name has been attached to a group that wishes to import the 'French metrical system' into Britain; JH urges petitions or whatever is needed to retain the British system.
