Summary:

Fully examined WB's report [on barometer observations]. Agrees to combine British and Continental observations. Curves clearly show atmospheric processes. Likes WB's suggestion of tracing atmospheric wave beyond 24 hours; will propose this to B.A.A.S. Irregularity of Asiatic and South African data.

Summary:

Heard of WB's bout with typhus. Interest in atmospheric waves should ensure publication of WB's article in Athenaeum. Will write editor on WB's behalf. Awaits completion of atmospheric curves for B.A.A.S. Congratulations on recently acquired office.
