Thanks JH for letter introducing Mr. Burnet at the Cape. The Hudson Bay Company is recording the temperature of the subsoil at JR's request. Sends some findings, which he will publish.
Asks: for name of instrument maker JH recommends for construction of actinometers; which hydrogrameters should be taken to Mackenzie's River; and whether JH has any experiments he would like done in America.
