Objections to one of JH's theories.
Is working on a memoir concerning animal electricity. Would like to present it to the R.S.L. and wonders if it would qualify for a prize.
Happy to hear that JH is to preside over the Physical and Mathematical Section. Will present Miss Robina Young to Lady Herschel before leaving for Southampton.
Is sending JH a book recounting some of CM's researches. Comments on various factors influencing conductance in carrying out experiments in electricity and telegraphy. [Letter illegible in parts.]
