Suggestions for travel [to Collingwood] by railroad and coach.
MB's intended visit to Collingwood conflicts with arrival of other guests.
Urges GA to print any of John Pond's and Nevil Maskelyne's observations that seem free from serious error [see GA's 1844-8-28].
About a suggested magnetism conference, Francis Baily's illness, and some remarkable observations by F. W. Bessel.
Parcel arrived safely. Will examine it with interest.
Has WW received a packet of letters for the magnetism committee, which packet was circulating.
