Makes arrangements for a visit to TH to see some of J. J. Lister's experiments. JH is sending TH some gelatinous matter that JH found in JH's telescope.
The time he proposes to visit them is very suitable and J. J. Lister will be there. The substance found in JH's telescope is very interesting. Hopes his mother is still well.
Writes concerning the excavation of mammoth remains and plans JSH visit to see them, potentially with Adam Sedgwick but probably not William Whewell. Gives a description of a tusk and other remains in their present state of excavation. States that similar remains in the same stratum of gravel nearby have been destroyed by labourers. Encloses a sketch of the tusk.
Sends a short résumé of his trip on the chance that it will arrive in England earlier than longer letter [158] which he hopes to send by surer means.
He is "incessantly occupied by new and most interesting animals" and thinks he will be able to do some original work in natural history.
