No summary available.
Is very upset that JH's name has been attached to a group that wishes to import the 'French metrical system' into Britain; JH urges petitions or whatever is needed to retain the British system.
JH's statement regarding scientific inquiry and religion seems to him invaluable, and he agrees with it entirely.
