Progress on barometer curves. Invites WB to send report, to be read at B.A.A.S. meeting in July.
Received WB's packet. Will send sheets tomorrow. Needs all 'Curves and data' before end of March for final report to B.A.A.S. JH's nerves 'shattered with night work.'
Praises WT for invention of 'Kalotype' process; predicts it will be called 'Talbotype.' Notes excellence for photography of the weather during past year. Mentions possibility of cases of excessively rapid photographic change.
Congratulates WT on the calotype invention and the patent. Responds at some length to WT's concerns about the infinity of the universe. In postscript, provides a 4-page dialogue on the subject.
A further two dialogues elaborating on JH's earlier arguments [see JH's 1841-3-18] on the infinity/finitude of the universe.
Sending a notice about the polarization of the sky. Also some practical papers he set at Durham. Has the obelisk ready for shipment to the Cape. Has asked Richard Taylor to send him a copy of his report on Meteorology.
