Summary:

Thanks for the offer of 25 copies of the Admiralty Manual. Thinks contributors should receive 6 copies instead of the 2 copies originally intended. Some misunderstanding of his proposals regarding returns of information. Printer has made a blunder in the Manual and JH has given orders for new pages to be substituted.
