GP prefers to meet on Saturday at Somerset House, rather than on Friday as JH proposed.
Changing a date of meeting for the magnetic committee of the B.A.A.S., and inviting GA to be there.
Asks HL for comments about the question of continuing the magnetic observations.
[Form letter] Asks recipients to consider value of magnetical research supported by British government and submit opinions on whether B.A.A.S. should seek continuation of this support after present agreement with government expires at end of 1845.
Sorry that WW cannot go to London to meet [with the magnetic committee]. Regrets missing JH at York B.A.A.S. meeting.
