Is sorry to hear that they are not to have the services of Adam Sedgwick. Would be pleased if JH would write to C. R. Darwin. Thinks that 200 pages will be quite long enough for the Admiralty Manual.

Thanks for letter. Is grateful for all the trouble JH is taking over the Admiralty Manual. Presumes JH has dealt with rotatory storms; otherwise he would have asked Col. William Reid to write a few pages.
