Thanks WH for letter on [J. T.] Graves's paper [see WH's 1829-2-25]. Admits JH could be in error concerning Graves's doctrines, but will let mathematical world form its own opinion.
Recommends G. B. Airy for superintendence of the Nautical Almanac. Expresses hope that Richard Jones's book will be published. Laments lack of recognition given to British scientists.
