Summary:

Admires chimes analogy in JH's 'On Circulating Functions' [1818]. Resumed interest in partitions of numbers in development of periodic functions. Finds JH's method superior. Encourages him to publish it. WH and Augustus De Morgan developed original method, which WH erred in attributing to Leonhard Euler. De Morgan's paper to Cambridge [Philosophical] Society demonstrates theorem leading to proof of Euler's theorem.
