Encloses the manuscript of the directions for atmospheric waves and barometric fluctuations. Suggests that it would be useful if the vessel about to travel to New Zealand would be utilized to supply barometric readings en route.
Omitted a detail concerning observations in his last letter. Further regarding the proposed observations in New Zealand.
Will be happy to abide by JH's judgement. Would like to know if the publication of the instructions in the manual would interfere with their separate publication. Will have to obtain financial assistance if his observations are to be continued.
Returns WB's draft with JH's editorial corrections. Admiralty has no objection to WB publishing it as separate article. JH will write instructions on 'general' meteorological observations to fill gaps left by WB's and Charles Wheatstone's specialized instructions. Devote time to analyzing existing observations, not to making more.
Has received his parcel and will pay particular attention to the points raised. Regarding using and corrections for the barometer. Will send manuscript to the Admiralty.
Has forwarded the manuscript, with notes, to the Admiralty and JH should receive it in a few days. Leaves the arrangement to him. Did he receive his letter of 15 Jan. and a copy of his Southampton report?
Francis Ronalds stated that observations at Kew Observatory may be discontinued by B.A.A.S. for budget reasons. WB volunteers to supervise observations at no additional cost. Hopes JH has recovered from influenza.
Following interview with Edward Sabine, WB compiled reasons for continuing Kew Observatory. Sends copy to JH.
Is grateful for JH's support for his application for a post in the Cape Observatory. Outlines his practical experience in astronomy. Does not mind what post is offered him.
Does not mind being considered for the alternative position at the Cape. Has seen Edward Sabine about the prospects.
Has just heard from Edward Sabine that there is still a vacancy at the Madras Observatory. Would like JH's support if he applies to the East India Company.
Thanks for the letter and his interest in the matter. Has written to W. H. Sykes relative to his astronomical qualifications.
Wishes to embody in his reports on atmospheric waves details of JH's work in this field. Would like his comments on his suggested wording. Can E. W. Brayley borrow Karl Kreil's book? Nothing from Madras yet.
Has received his letter of the 20th and is anxious to know if E. W. Brayley can borrow Karl Kreil's book.
Has received the proof sheets of his contributions to the Admiralty Manual and would like to make a few alterations. Has heard no news of the Madras appointment.
Has received the copies of the Admiralty Manual. Discussions of the electrical observations at Kew are almost finished and will be able to forward the manuscript if desired.
Has received from Edward Sabine the manuscript of his own report on the electrical observations. Is pleased that his labors have been useful.
Has altered the words in accordance with JH's suggestions. Encloses extract dealing with clouds.
Charles Wheatstone has offered to apply for an R.S. grant for him to continue his atmospheric wave investigations. His Hurricane Guide will soon be issued by Murray.
Thanks for his letter, and will arrange with John Williams concerning L. A. J. Quetelet's books. Regarding recent barometrical readings.
