Did not receive JH's letters as he was away from the University. Rejoices at his news of the B.A.A.S. grant.

Thanks for paper on action of rays 'of high refrangibility' on gases and vapors. Attempts to understand reflection of wave motion on particles with diameters 'incomparably smaller' than length of wave.
Thanks for his enquiry, but has no energy for conundrums at the moment. Finds he has a tendency to tumble as his strength returns.
Clerical error of '1839' instead of '1829' in JH's proposal has occurred in many other reports. No need to wait for Council approval. Will also inform G. A. Erman.
Scientific men at Manchester, J. P. Joule, Balfour Stewart, and H. E. Roscoe especially, feel that there is not enough influence on the Government regarding scientific affairs. Thinks the leading scientific men should join together. Would JH lend his name and influence to such an undertaking?
Sends a copy of JH's version of the German Rhine Song, which JC requested. Comments favorably on French losses in the Franco-Prussian War. Thanks her for visiting.
