Thanks for the fragment of poor [Ben?]. Comments on this and the composition of the metal of bells.
Recently came across some instructions JH had drawn up for persons who are color blind. Sends a note explaining the work of William Pole on this same subject. Has left the manufactory at Ipswich.
Sends a small fragment chipped from the second great bell. Comments on the metal of the bell and the causes of the cracks. Unable to attend the R.S.L. dinner tomorrow.
