Summary:

Gratified by WW's volume. Recalls JH's catenary theorems. Writes function to complete theory of exponential transcendents. WW's applications have greater practical bearing than JH's early efforts, which JH now finds difficult to decipher. Sorry that WW declared Mr. Gilbert's tables defective.
