Has a sufficient quantity of heavy glass at his disposal and offers some to JH.
Will be showing some experiments in the laboratory next Monday to G. B. Airy, François Marcet, and a few others; JH would be welcome.
Gratitude for receipt of JH's Cape Results. Congratulates Margaret Brodie Herschel for her part in it.
Leopold Gmelin's Handbuch der Chemie contains all JH requires. If he does not have access to it will send it to the R.S.L. for him.
Finds he made an error last night due to his bad memory. The Duke was asking for JH; hopes he met him after Richard Owen's discourse.
Enclosing the tickets. Hopes the whiskey will be good.
No doubt he is aware of F. A. Nobert's work on glass. Has received from him a paper, which he intends communicating to the R.S.L. Thinks JH may like to see it.
The accompanying book was addressed to MF but inscribed to JH, so he considers it belongs to JH.
Did as JH wished with the papers. Is busy with magnetism and lines of force. Sends a couple of printings.
Sending a letter he has received from [Rudolf?] Wolfe. Will send it to the R.S.L. or the R.A.S after JH has seen it, whichever he thinks best.
Has not read up the different treatises on elementary chemistry but gives three authors: George Fowne, Thomas Graham, and W. T. Brande. Has sent [Rudolf?] Wolfe's letter to Edward Sabine.
Found the paper JH required and has sent off the quarto version. Wishes he had something else to send as well.
