Surprised to receive WK’s measurements from Teviotdale.
RC’s rebuttal of claims that he had passed over WK’s part in the researches (Athenaeum, 23 September 1848, pp. 958–9).
A second attempt by RC to defend his conduct.
AS has come to Great Yarmouth to recuperate. If WK’s idea of the formation of the stone is correct he may find other examples.
The Prize Committee of the RSSA would like a few more facts about WK’s method of economising on fuel for gas works.
Apologises for late acknowledgment of a specimen and two letters received in October. The fragments are now in the Museum.
