Reply to JT's 'Remarks on Radiation and Absorption.' Calls non-absorption of air and vapor key to understanding meteorological phenomena. Remarks on 'radiant heat' from moon.
Is pleased that JH likes his plates of Mars. Has a great collection of drawings of Mars but only a few of Venus. Hopes by the Spring to have the photoheliograph working. Has just completed his volume on the eclipse for 1860.
