Expresses his pleasure at RH's new position at the Museum of Economic Geology.
Has applied to the Council for the position and Michael Faraday has promised him support. Has also heard of a forthcoming vacancy in the Museum of Economic Geology. Is undecided which to apply for and would welcome JH's views.
Has been appointed keeper of Mining records at the Museum of Economic Geology. Hopes to meet him personally and thank him for his assistance.
Sends an analysis of the salts he sent him at Cambridge.
Has just been showing Michael Faraday some of his experiments on the influence of magnetism of bodies slowly precipitating; comments on this and will be pleased to carry out any experiments for JH.
