Summary:

Thanks for his last letter. Assures him he has no bitter feelings over the spirit of David Brewster after his disappointment of the election. May make any use he wishes of his actinometer results. Intends going over to France in a month's time, but is very busy at the present time.

Summary:

Has acquired a 7-ft. Newtonian telescope of William Herschel made in 1802. Is well preserved but the speculum appears to be tarnished. Would like to bring it to London to obtain JH's advice on its shortcomings. Is going to France to collect the actinometers and the results of L. F. Kämtz.
