Has just come from Scotland on his way to the continent for two or three months. Pleased to hear JH's work is making good progress. Does he know that David Brewster made observations for two days of the year? Has sent him his paper on polarization. Has been occupied by the preparation of his paper on optics. Hopes to reduce his observations made on the continent in 1832. Would like T. C. Robinson, the instrument maker, to see JH's instructions.

Last night was a splendid night for observing. Will be pleased to place the barometer at Captain Richard Wolfe's disposal. Eclipse was interesting. Will call if he goes to Simon's Bay.
Discusses reduction of barometric observations. Praises the Cape's climate.
Slow and tedious trip through miserable country, but geology prospers, and CD will have a good general idea of the structure of Chile by the time he leaves the country. Will send a last large cargo of specimens to Henslow.
