Summary:

Sends two of his papers. R. I. Murchison has now received the Order of Dannebrogg. If JH thinks he can utilize the order once conferred on him he should write to the King. P.S. King is now dead, but could pass the letter to the appropriate body.

Summary:

Has not heard from him for a long time or his letter was not delivered and the unrest in Europe has not encouraged him to write letters. Sends articles, also part of a book, which he has been trying to get published by an English publisher. Would like the advice of JH on this effort.

Thanks for promise of kind intervention on his behalf, but he believes that JH would not advise him to publish the work in England. Thinks it would be more welcome in Germany. Would like comments and corrections.
