Summary:
Failed to obtain interview with Edward Sabine. B.A.A.S. committee considers WB finished [see WB's 1850-6-14], yet claims rights to WB's report on luminous meteors, which WB submitted after involuntary termination. WB wants report returned to him. Plans no more work in science. Thanks JH for ten years of assistance and kindness.
