Sorry for the delay in response; JH has been ill for some time. JM has objected to P. S. Laplace's theory of probabilities; JH strongly supports Laplace.
Wants JH to sign certificate for [Joseph] Kay. Mrs. Sabine will resume her translation of [Alexander von Humboldt's] Cosmos. Mr. Gyde has not received list of presentation copies of the B.A.A.S. catalogue.
Has received his letter and suggestions for the experiment. Has ordered the glass from Newman. Is very busy so may not be able to carry out the experiment for a week or more. JH must keep the results secret for the time being.
