Conveys to GE nine resolutions passed at the B.A.A.S. meeting supporting a southern hemisphere expedition of discovery, especially concerned with magnetism, and also the establishment of a series of magnetic observatories.
[Marked 'Private.'] Will meet with JH next month. Will assist B.A.A.S. in research on terrestrial magnetism, but is not convinced that global expedition is most effective way; perhaps current survey teams could perform as well. Compares relative costs.
Expresses general interest in supporting research in terrestrial magnetism and possibly am expedition of discovery. Will be happy to discuss these matters further with JH.
Is prepared to see GE anytime about resolutions [see JH's 1838-10-20]. Outlines the requirements of the Cape Observatory for more efficient service. Eloquently pleads the case for government support of research in the physical sciences.
Has not returned to town yet, but will be happy to discuss the proposals in JH's last letter. Attaches more importance to JH's words than any resolutions of the B.A.A.S.
