Thanks JH for letter. Would like to call on JH Sunday morning.
Sends regards from scientific men in Berlin and Munich, where HS and brother Adolph lectured after returning from England. Alexander Humboldt will write to Duke of Northumberland, as JH suggested, to request financial aid for HS's research. May Humboldt use JH's name in this appeal?
As stated before, JH does not want JH's name used in Alexander Humboldt's appeal to Duke of Northumberland on behalf of HS and brother Adolph. Feels hurt by HS's refusal to accept this.
