A note accompanying another publication on turbulent winds.
Make a few suggestions about JH's letter to Adolph Petersen [see JH's 1852-5-19].
Treasury solicitors responded to JH's request for date on which to lease Mint refinery to Anthony de Rothschild. Found estimates for 1850 that JH wanted.
Has a copy of JH's book on astronomy, which AC values. Has been carrying out experiments with the grinding of object glasses. Remarks on various points relating to telescopes. Intends to search for double stars.
Forwards papers for JH to study.
Does monetary part of enclosed document require more attention than political part? [JH annotation: 'monstrous proposal' concerning counterfeit copper.]
