Did not vote for RM's friend at the R.S.L. because JH missed the meeting. JH will also miss the next meeting of the Geological Society, as he is returning to Collingwood.
Pleased that JH can come on the occasion of F. W. Bessel's visit, as W. R. Hamilton, G. B. Airy, and Francis Baily cannot come. Comments regarding Foreign Orders.
Offers an explanation of the phenomena of the freezing cave of Illetzkaya Zatchita in Russia.
On RM's stepping down as president of Geological Society. Where exactly abroad will RM pursue enquiries?
Sends a memoir he has scribbled off for next Wednesday's meeting. Would like JH's advice on several points.
Many thanks for JH's explanations, which gave satisfaction to the geologists. Gives two queries of his own for which he would like clarification. Can they print JH's Alpine phenomena memoir?
Responds to RM's request for an analysis of the cause of the difference in climate between Orenburg and Catherineburg in Russia. Agrees that Geological Society can print JH's Alpine memoir.

Willing to chair B.A.A.S. meeting next year, provided no other duties are imposed on JH's time and that no one else desires that office.
B.A.A.S. have been trying to arrange their 1846 meeting at Cambridge. William Whewell alone is opposed to this suggestion. Everyone agrees that JH should be the next president when the Dean of Ely retires. Can they have JH's views.
Appreciates foresight, but cannot commit to be president of B.A.A.S. meeting at Cambridge in summer of 1846. Date is too far away; personal and domestic commitments are pressing.
Regrets he made a mistake in his letter; he meant 1845, not 1846. William Whewell has been overruled and the B.A.A.S. are to meet at Cambridge in June 1845.
Can raise no objections to being president of the B.A.A.S. for 1845, but will be unable to be in York this year.
Rejoiced to receive his friendly letter, even though they have no hopes of seeing him in 1846. They are still on friendly terms with William Whewell, though they disagree on the Cambridge meeting.
Gratefully accepts role as President Elect for 1845 B.A.A.S. meeting.
