Summary:

Compliments Georg Erman's map of the declination lines made from observations, which confirms C. F. Gauss's map derived by theory. Asks JH whether the map should be printed and attached to the R.S.L. report. Plans to see JH at Slough. Thinks the idea of there being two auroras, one in the west and one in the east, is interesting.
