Summary:
Replies to WH's letter on 'Scotodynamics.' Cannot follow WH's analysis of velocities of vibrations and disturbances, but finds it symbolically beautiful and powerful. Notes that diploma [?] arrived and was sent to Hanover. Thanks WH on behalf of Caroline Herschel, who sent a letter acknowledging the honor bestowed on her by Royal Irish Academy.
