Summary:

M. McCann sent his paper to JH for communication to the R.S.L., which he did, but does not know the outcome of it. Was unable to report on it as his own knowledge was not modern enough.

RS:HS 11.6
Summary:

Thanks for his letter regarding M. McCann. Does he know anything of the capabilities of Parkinson Wilson, Mr. Hobson, and Mr. Sandiman? Had intended to communicate his own researches on platina a long time ago, but was hoping to conclude them first. Thomas Graham will send down the form of certificate for him to sign.
