Robinsons (Devonshire St.) have offered their standard Troy pound, together with its history for £20-0-0. [JH has added notes from his reply regarding the present whereabouts of the various Troy pounds.]
Further remarks on his letter concerning Charles Babbage's calculating machine (see GA's 1842-9-16) in order to clarify JH's mind.
Must complete graphs of barometer curves before B.A.A.S. meeting. Did JH mistakenly include 1837 Bogota Almanac in barometer observations?
