Is anxious that JH's son should have every chance of making himself known. Suggests dates for lectures and fees.
His son informs him of the projected series of lectures at the Royal Institution on weather forecasting and meteorology. Comments on this.
John Tyndall left London in a hurry, but he has urged the claims of JH's son [Alexander] as a professor at the School of Mines.
Is to be a public meeting at the Royal Institution regarding a testimonial to Michael Faraday. Will JH oblige by doing the honors?
Grieves to say that he will be unable to attend the meeting at the Royal Institution to honor Michael Faraday, as his health is so poor. Thinks Faraday was a great man in all ways.
