Response to questions on magnetic circular sent out by JH [see JH's 1844-12-5].
Expresses thanks for receipt of Toronto magnetical and meteorological observations. Encourages continuation of British observations. Makes proposal for future work.
Now sees JH's point regarding the theory of steam. Comments on various experiments. Glad to see JH approves of repeating John Southern's experiments. Unable to go to Cambridge; his banking business requires unceasing attention. Doing all he can about the observations. Council will take up the East India observations.
