Summary:
Has great pleasure in receiving a visit from W. C. Morland. Will be pleased to visit the Herschels. Has been travelling in Italy; visited Vesuvius and also called on Angelo Secchi, who was engaged in making a model of the sun's disc and using oat corn grains to illustrate the willow leaf effects.
