Sends plans to construct barometer that he never built; invites JP to use the plans.
Other engagements preclude JH from accepting JP's invitation to present a paper at the 'general Scientific meeting' [inaugural meeting of the B.A.A.S.] to be held at York.
Reminder that JH must report on 'Reduction of Meteorological Observations' at next meeting.
Express their concern that the offer for sale to the British Museum, by G. A. Mantell and Thomas Hawkins, of two valuable collections, has been declined.
