From:

Source of text:

Summary:

Charles Babbage communicated [Edward] Smedley's note requesting JH to write an article on 'Heat' and an Introduction to Physical Science. Appears to be some misunderstanding as JH does not wish to write on Heat, no interest in the subject, but is prepared to write on Physical Optics. When will the latter article be required?
