Source of text:
RS:HS 25.2.9
Summary:

A stiff and formal letter telling WF very clearly that JH fully agrees with the Newtonian system [as WF clearly does not], and that JH would not consider trying to apply pressure to the editors of philosophical magazines to publish WF's writings, in spite of threats from WF.

RS:HS 25.2.10
Summary:

WF's manuscript, which JH returned with his letter of 1831-6-16, has not been received by WF. JH suggests some possibilities as to what might have happened, and deplores the tone of WF's letters, indicating that this tone causes JH to decline further correspondence on the subject.

Summary:

Still relating to the manuscript of WF's not yet returned to him [see JH's 1831-7-28], JH explains very carefully how it was sent back and where WF should look for it. [Correspondence books contain a shorter version, partly torn out.]
