Will JH and his son [William] come and dine with him this week?
Thanking him for his book [probably Passages in the Life of a Philosopher].
Believes that John Davy's letter to the Philosophical Magazine was suggested by James South. To defend himself, CB now needs JH's permission to publish some of their correspondence.
Gives CB permission to publish the portions of letters requested by him. JH tells CB that he has responded to John Davy's letter in the PM.
