JDH reports to Sir William Turner Thiselton-Dyer [WTTD] on the meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science in Southampton. Lawson is attending. The only botanist apart from JDH is [John] Ball. Lord Rayleigh's address was well attended. JDH compliments George Darwin's paper on the effects of the tide in squeezing the earth's surface, a subject that Italian physicists have also been investigating. The President's address was a dull one describing electric & gaseous modes of lighting with a mention of solar speculation. The meeting is small &lacks scientific men. The geology section has been the best with a good paper by Yule. JDH will wait to accompany Lady Hyacinth Hooker back from Poole to Kew unless his presence is required. JDH asks WTTD to forward any letters from his architect Waller. Charles Darwin's sons Frank [Francis], George & Horace are all at the meeting. William Darwin has a place near Southampton & JDH is stating with him, he asks that proofs of the BOTANICAL MAGAZINE from Reeves be forwarded to him there: Ridgemount, Bassett, Southampton.
