Several journals rejected JW's paper on theory of gases. Hopes JH might read it at next B.A.A.S. meeting. Outlines theory of heat based on motion and conservation of vis viva.

Summary:

Not surprised that scientific journals decline simple mechanical explanation of heat based on principle of conservation of vis viva. Admits that it has advocates, but JH has no time to devote to it. [JH's annotation: Not sent. Waterston gave no address but 'London'.]
