Lord Auckland [George Eden] has asked JH to edit Admiralty Manual and proposed that WH write section on botany. Would WH do this and when could WH complete it?
Is editing a manual for surveying and exploring expeditions. Asks WW to do section on tides.
Has now sent the letters and circulars to the various people in connection with the Admiralty Manual. Has not sent one to W. R. Birt, but will do so if JH thinks it advisable.
Has been reading as far as page 36 of the proofs with great pleasure. Regarding choice of words for a phrase. Richard Jones is uninfluenced as yet.
Congratulations on finishing his paper. Would he check over the proofs. Richard Jones is well, though not well enough to attend at the College chapel. J. E. D. Bethune and John Lefevre are staying with Jones. Bethune starts for India in February.
Francis Jeffrey (Lord Jeffrey) is the writer of Plaidoyer in the last number; intends it to be a judicial deliverance. Has sent JH's review of the translation of Kosmos to Lord Jeffrey and he praised it highly. Gives some of his comments.
