Acknowledges receipt of [JH's Cape Results].
JH's conjectures are natural but Augustus De Morgan had nothing to do with JL's Treatise on Probability. JL wrote it in conjunction with J. E. Drinkwater Bethune, although the title page does not show the names of the authors. Understands what JH means about the moon but cannot see what will be gained. Sorry to hear of JH's mishap.
