Questions JH's intent to display 'photogenic drawings' to R.S.L.
Discusses own efforts in meteorology. Must wait to print second edition of work on storms. Appreciates nomination for R.S.L., but has little time for such pursuits.
Asks JH to keep him updated on English research of the dynamics of light. Currently considering the 'propagation' of light waves, as distinguished from their mere 'preservation'; asks whether this is a new study.
