Because TH's letter has not reached JH, JH cannot reply. Is taking up residence in Slough.
Queries regarding a corroded clock face, and description of harvest bugs. Has an intermittent river in their district. Has now set up the Munich telescope and would be pleased to show it to JH. Does he want Amici's mirrors?
The black broth that the Spartans liked must have been mushroom ketchup. Suggests way of obtaining a portable dome. Sends drawing and description of the harvest bug. Is pleased to hear of his projected Cape expedition. Is carrying out observations of the moon.
Came with the intention of paying JH money, but finds he is out; what shall he do? Can he also advise him about the map for the R.A.S.?
